The for-loop uses the IFS (Internal Field Separator -> man bash) to
separate its arguments. The default IFS includes SPACE, TAB, NEWLINE and
maybe more.

In your case you want IFS to be set to NEWLINE (and *only* to NEWLINE).
You can do it like this:

IFS="
"
Maybe there is a more elegant solution to set IFS to NEWLINE.
