This has nothing to do with what happens when exporting verse blocks.

If you try a simple example like

#+options: toc:nil
* Heading
First.

Foo
#+BEGIN_VERSE

 From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die,

#+END_VERSE
Bar

Foo
#+BEGIN_VERSE
 From fairest creatures we desire increase,
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die,
#+END_VERSE
Bar

you will see that lading and trailing spaces are insignificant:

\section{Heading}
\label{sec:orgc54e19b}
First.

Foo
\begin{verse}
\hspace*{1\fontdimen2\font}From fairest creatures we desire increase,\\
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die,\\
\end{verse}
Bar

Foo
\begin{verse}
\hspace*{1\fontdimen2\font}From fairest creatures we desire increase,\\
That thereby beauty’s rose might never die,\\
\end{verse}
Bar
