You may try redefining (in your document's preamble) the command  
generating, in verse.sty, the line numbers, something like:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@vscentercr}{%
   \ifhmode \unskip\else \@nolnerr\fi
    
\hfill\rlap{\kern\vrightskip\kern\rightmargin\small\normalfont\getmodulo 
@vs}%
   \@vsifgt{\verselinebreak}{%
   \incr at vsline
   \par\@ifstar{\nobreak\@vsxcentercr}{%
     \@vsifbang{\@ifnextchar[ {\@vsicentercr}{}}{\@vsxcentercr}}}}
\makeatother

(\getmodulo at vs is the command calling \thepeomline). Or you may also  
try:

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\getmodulo at vs}{{\@tempcnta\c at poemline\small\normalfont
   \ifnum\c at modulo@vs<\@ne    % no line numbers
   \else
     \ifnum\c at modulo@vs<\tw@  % number every line
       \thepoemline
     \else
       \divide\@tempcnta\c at modulo@vs
       \multiply\@tempcnta\c at modulo@vs
       \ifnum\@tempcnta=\c at poemline\thepoemline\fi
     \fi
   \fi
}}
\makeatother

With no guarantee, as I've never used verse.sty.
