With more experimentation, this seems to happen when I use the
Palatino package at 14 point. Either \usepackage{Times} or \small
before the verse environment causes the poem to look the way I expect.
Removing the geometry package also causes this particular poem to set
the way I want it to, but setting this poem on that size page is the
actual problem I'm trying to solve.
It has only to do width the length of the line in question. The
verse environment breaks the verse and puts nothing in the next
line. I don't know whether this is a shortcoming of the verse
environment of the memoir class only or in general.
Anyway, you could do something like:
\documentclass[14pt, letterpaper]{memoir}
\usepackage[ paperheight=8.5 in,paperwidth=5.5in,
textheight=7in,
twoside]{geometry}
\usepackage{palatino}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\subsection*{Now goth sonne under wod}
\settowidth\versewidth{Me reweth, Marye, thy faire rode.}
\begin{verse}[\versewidth]
Now goth sonne under wod:\\
Me reweth, Marye, thy faire rode.\\
Now goth sonne under tree:\\
Me reweth, Marye, thy sone and thee.
\end{verse}
\end{document}
