Possibly in academe, but I suspect that Auden's "Night Mail" or
Masefield's "Sea Fever" or "Cargoes" will be remembered and read aloud
long after the ramblings of an obscure librarian are forgotten.

Of course English poetry used to be alliterative, not rhyming, until
Chaucer introduced that new-fangled French habit of end rhymes!
Getting back to setting music though, would not the driving beat of
alliterative ballards and sagas not lend themselves to some grand
music?  Has anyone ever set "Piers the Plowman", the "Greene Knight"
or "Beowulf" (all in the original language) to music?
