How to Center the Footnote mark and the Footnote

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to center a footnote that contains a stanza of verse; for example, consider the following in which the footnote is indicated:

And the footnote is displayed at the bottom of the page as such:

I would like to do this in LateX.
Does anyone know how? (I am able to produce the asterisk instead of a numbered footnote, but I do not know how to display the stanza as shown.)
Any help you provide is appreciated.
Thank you.

Try with the verse package.
% centerfootnoteprob.tex  SE 569825

documentclass{article}
usepackage{verse}
begin{document}

Some textfootnote{begin{verse}[1in] 
  The poor ...  
  with voice ... end{verse}}

More textfootnote{Regular footnote with lots of words in it, maybe 
exceeding a single line of text.}

end{document}

The optional length argument to the verse environment shifts the location of the verse's text. A smaller length shifts to the right. Adjust this according to the width of the verse's lines.
