Not all English poetry is like that. For example there is definitely music an rhythm in Longfellow's "The Song of Hiawatha" or William Blake's "The tiger" although I would dare to say that their versions translated to Russian are "better" sounding. This obviously could be just because of the English not being my native tongue.

Thank you for mentioning something specific so we can try to read those.

Yeah, just checked them. Much better.
