Ballads A ballad is a story told in song, using the voice of everyday people. Early ballads were only performed orally. Singers often modified a ballad in order to customize the poem for a particular audience. Early ballads are often called folk ballads.

Ballads A traditional ballad consists of four line stanzas with a simple rhyme scheme and narrates a single tragic event using dialect forms of language. A dialect is simply a variation of a language. Dialects of a language can differ in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. Dialect use can vary according to country, region, time, race, ethnicity, age, class, and other social variables.
