More of a song thing. Yeats at least does it successfully in No Second Troy (although imo it only works because you probably don't notice it much) - Uriah Heep do it in Rainbow Demon and it works not so well, except to impart a sense of folkishness. Still a good song albeit

He also does it in "Sailing to Byzantium." Frost does it in "Fire and Ice" (unsurprisingly). Blake does it in "Jerusalem." I'm sure many more examples can be found.
