Is it a wrong thing to place a double bar line between verses of a piece of music?

To quote Elaine Gould in "Behind Bars" on p.39:

Thin double barlines
"These mark divisions between sections in a piece. They are of ordinary barline thickness, and are placed about 3/4 stave-space apart.
It is misleading to use them with every metre change, as they will appear to indicate new sections.
When two movements follow one another without a break, the end of the first movement takes a thin double barline."

So on that basis I think you are justified in using a double barline between verses.
