| Jan 3, 2018 at 14:01 | comment | added | Janka | Your example sentence is ungrammatical. But a songwriter or other poet may choose to disregard grammar in favor of brevity and rhyme. | |
| Jan 3, 2018 at 13:52 | comment | added | Tom Edwards | What do you mean by poetical freedom? What overall difference does it make? | |
| Jan 3, 2018 at 13:31 | comment | added | Janka | Main clauses following a dependent clause have the predicate in front, that's the rule. If you don't follow that rule, you employ poetical freedom. | |
| Jan 3, 2018 at 10:43 | comment | added | Tom Edwards | So how is a poetical word order created just by making the second clause a normal standing sentence. | |
