Why are they ballads and not poems?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ballads are poems or songs narrating a story in short stanzas. Ballads are most likely narrative story in short stanzas. A poem is a piece of writing that partakes of the nature of both speech and song, and that is usually rhythmical and metaphorical. On the other hand poems don't always have to have a rhyme scheme.

Does the ballad of the oysterman teach a lesson through a legend?

The Ballad of the Oysterman

Oliver Wendell Holmes

It was a tall young oysterman lived by the river-side,

His shop was just upon the bank, his boat was on the tide;

The daughter of a fisherman, that was so straight and slim,

Lived over on the other bank, right opposite to him.

It was the pensive oysterman that saw a lovely maid,

Upon a moonlight evening, a sitting in the shade;

He saw her wave her handkerchief, as much as if to say,

"I'm wide awake, young oysterman, and all the folks away."

Then up arose the oysterman, and to himself said he,

"I guess I'll leave the skiff at home, for fear that folks should see

I read it in the story-book, that, for to kiss his dear,

Leander swam the Hellespont,-and I will swim this here."

And he has leaped into the waves, and crossed the shining stream,

And he has clambered up the bank, all in the moonlight gleam;

Oh there were kisses sweet as dew, and words as soft as rain,-

But they have heard her father's step, and in he leaps again!

Out spoke the ancient fisherman,-"Oh, what was that, my daughter?"

"'T was nothing but a pebble, sir, I threw into the water."

"And what is that, pray tell me, love, that paddles off so fast?"

"It's nothing but a porpoise, sir, that's been a swimming past."

Out spoke the ancient fisherman,-"Now bring me my harpoon!

I'll get into my fishing-boat, and fix the fellow soon."

Down fell that pretty innocent, as falls a snow-white lamb,

Her hair drooped round her pallid cheeks, like sea-weed on a clam.

Alas for those two loving ones! she waked not from her swound,

And he was taken with the cramp, and in the waves was drowned;

But Fate has metamorphosed them, in pity of their woe,

And now they keep an oyster-shop for mermaids down below.

What is the poem of the a balad oF the mothers heart?

Asked by AnnaRoseSanguinza

As my opinion, the story was entitled BALLAD OF MOTHER'S HEART because Youth the boy did what the girl tell him. I thinks that the mother sacrifices for his son to get what he want. Because the really want the girl and the only thing that the girl can agree to marry youth is to bring his mothers heart to him. I really impressed w/ the story because i have learned a lesson. And although the son get his mothers heart the mother is still concern to his son because when Youth slipped the mother ask him if he he hurt. The only thing i can say is a mothers love cannot be reach....

What gives the poem ballad of Birmingham an ironic twist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This poem is ironic because the child wants to go to the town for the Freedom March but her mother suggests she may go to the church to sing in the choir where it's safe. Ironically, the church is bombed that day. The poem suggests through irony that no place is safe when the minds of people are corrupt.
