Folk ballads originated during the Middle Ages among the common people and are admired for their wisdom and psychological portraits of people.

Each four-line stanza, known as a quatrain, has four stressed syllables in the first and third lines and three stressed syllables in the second and fourth ones. The rhyme scheme is usually abcb. The narrative is usually advanced through dialogue, action, and use of question and answer dialogue.

It may be sensational, sordid, or tragic Omission of detail such as description or characterization Incremental repetition of phrases or sentences Refrain (a phrase or verse recurring at intervals in a song or a poem) Question –and-answer format Conventional phrases with specific symbolic or metaphoric meanings Rhythm (ballad stanza) and rhyme pattern What wisdom is taught through this ballad?
