You've got the quotes at the wrong place. \markup itself returns a music
expression, as far as I understand, and should not be interpreted as a
string. In contrast, the arguments of the \line command aren't commands
but strings to be quoted.
And, by the way, you forgot one closing bracket.

\header {
    copyright = \markup { \column{
         \line{ "Verse 2." }
         \line{ "All the children laughed and played" }
         \line{ "To see a lamb at school." }
         }
    }
}

should work fine.
