There are also \lbrack and \rbrack for [ and ]. You could define
abbreviations like
\newcommand{\l}{\lbrack} to save you from some typing effort ...

But when [ is used at the beginning of a line in the verse environment xetex stops compiling. A solution for this problem is to use {[} at the beginning of the line, but  this is an annoyance for me since most of the lines of the text are broken at the beginning.
