I'd suggest you using tsts utility from moreutils package. Though its primary purpose is prepending output lines with a time stamp, it can use an arbitrary string along or instead of the timestamp

for line in {01..05}; do echo $line; done | ts  "A string in front "
A string in front  01
A string in front  02
A string in front  03
A string in front  04
A string in front  05
