Because I oft, in dark abstracted guise

With dearth of words, or answers quite awry,
To them that would make speech of speech arise

If your pasted text is the same as it looks when I copy/pasted it into Word, there are double line breaks between those lines.
A couple of ways to check things as shown in the image:
Turn on the "show" (paragraph mark on the Home tab of the ribbon) and you can see the paragraph breaks, line breaks, page breaks, non-printing characters.
Double check that your spacing doesn't have extra space before or after a paragraph.
Turn on the Reveal Formatting (SHIFT + F1 keys), and you'll get that panel on the right that shows your formatting as you move through your document.
