Word order inversion is often used to create emphasis, dramatic, or poetic effect. Bad grammar is sometimes used for the same purposes. That's called "poetic license".
Example: "And QUIET FLOWS the Don" (should be "quietly")
Example: "So WAS IT when my life began / So IS IT now I am a man" - W. Wordsworth
Example: "The hand that paused to gather / Upon this Summer's day / Will IDLE LIE - in Auburn - Then take my flowers - pray!" - E. Dickinson
