Due to the utterly intractable MediaWiki bug reported at Template:Bugzilla, block quoting cannot handle freeform linebreaking for paragraphs and poems and the like.
The problem in action:
Which results in:
The Template:Em solution for this is to use unbroken markup with {{#if:|
|
}}{{#switch:pair
|c|close = |s|single |o|open |p|pair = <p{{#if:| {{{params}}}}}
}}{{#switch:pair
|c|close = |s|single = /> |o|open = > |p|pair = >...
}}{{#switch:pair
|s|single |o|open = |c|close |p|pair = </p>
}}{{#if:|
|
}} or {{#if:|
|
}}{{#switch:single
|c|close = |s|single |o|open |p|pair = <br{{#if:| {{{params}}}}}
}}{{#switch:single
|c|close = |s|single = /> |o|open = > |p|pair = >...
}}{{#switch:single
|s|single |o|open = |c|close |p|pair = </br>
}}{{#if:|
|
}} elements:
Which results in:

Or even:
{{bq|1=<!--
-->Line 1<br/><!--
-->Line 2<br/><!--
-->Line 3<br/><!--
-->Line 4.}}
Result of either:
