There is a jazz album by Jacqui Dankworth (daughter of Johnny D. and Cleo Lane) and her band The New Perspectives of settings for Housemans' "Shropshire Lad" poems.
I have a copy but find it very difficult; there is very little of the folk song about it in spite of Houseman's imitating song patterns. It is a bit like the music of the jazz composer (whose name I don't recall) who wrote music for T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland".
For anyone who is interested, there is a good collected poems edition of John Betjeman, published by John Murray Publishers in which you will find "A Shrophire Lad" which was originally in the collection: "Old Lights For New Chancels" of 1940.
Some of Betjemans' poems lend well to song.
