Maybe I should add another clarification to that, since there's been much confusion on what I meant. Lee's will work, but they don't have to be that long. I still can't think of a good non-Swedish example (maybe because it's meant to be in the style of a traditional Swedish song), but here's a YouTube clip of Värmlandsvisan as an illustration.

Here are the lyrics:

(A) Ack, Värmeland,
du sköna, du härliga land,
du krona bland Svea rikes länder!
(A) Och komme jag än mitt i
det förlovade land,
till Värmland jag ändock återvänder.
(B) Ja, där vill jag leva, ja, där vill jag dö.
(A) Om en gång ifrån Värmland
jag tager mig en mö,
så vet jag att jag mig aldrig ångrar.
