Yes, but to get there you'd have to be more explicit about what you 
actually want.

This tries to attach a markup to a (complete) music expression, which is 
not possible. A markup can either be attached to a musical element (a 
note/rest) or defined as a top-level item between scores.

If you only want to state "Verse 2" as a sort of heading for that part 
you could do

\markup "Verse 2"

\versetwomusic

with arbitrarily complex arrangements.

Anything else will also be possible, but only when knowing what you're 
really after.
