Subject: RE: Common poems set to music
Kipling has been mentioned several times:-

I have a CD with a 1919 recording of "Recessional" sung at a Peace Thanksgiving service (at one of the Cathedrals), the tune is that of the hymn "For Those in Peril On The Sea".

"Gethsemene" can be sung to the Easter hymn "There is a Green Hill"
"Tommy" fits to "Rising of the Moon"
