The only other way I can thnk of, is to use a new \set stanza:

verseTwo = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = #"2. "
  Sing8 lull-8 a-8 by!4.
  lull-8 a-8 by8 ba-4 by,8 sweet-4 ly-8 sleep-4 ing:8
  sing8 lull-8 a-8 by!4.
  Hush,8 do8 not8 wake4 the8 in-4 fant8 king;4.
  \set stanza = \markup { \dynamic "p" }
  soon8 will come sor-4 row8 with4 the8 mor-4 ning8
  soon8 will8 come8 bit-4 ter8 grief4 and8 weep-4. ing:4.
  sing2 lull-8 a-8 by.4.
}
