From a small boat that rowed along,
The listening winds received this song:
This one’s from The Norton Anthology of Poetry, 4th Edition, ed. by Margaret Ferguson, Mary Jo Salter, and Jon Stallworthy (1970). The end word in many of the lines of this poem becomes a harbinger for the first word in the next line where some of its letters and sounds are echoed. More here on MacNeice:

One thing I’ve noticed in attempting not to repeat anyone until I can’t take not going back to Berryman, for one example, is that the number of poets in the world, those here and those here only in print, will continue to exceed the days with new poets appearing daily.
