The Ballad

This article compares the way folk song moves from folk song to oral tradition to the form of fork song known today. A song can be a song of any story, but from a technical point of view, folk songs are a specific form of literature. The word folk comes from Latin and Italian "ballare", or "dance". Collins, (1985). The translation of the second word of "Folk" comes from French, meaning "dance music". Oxford, (1995). Therefore, the folk song was about the storytelling, originally a music accompaniment of dance.

Folk song / bæləd / is a type of poetry, usually a story of music. Folk songs originated from medieval French scented songs and folk songs which were originally "songs of dance".

Coleridge used a folk festival, four lines of poetry. Through these extensions, he can gain a richer and more comprehensive supernatural sensation; he can transcend the more domesticated supernaturalism of the four-line festival. In addition to the agent itself, he starts with external evils that usually occur. Coleridge's poem "Mist of ancient crewmen" is a sinful poetry, it is also a poetry as to why. John Livingston Lowes wrote: "The same applies to the cause and consequences of cruelty, which does not shake through poetry" (68). But the reason and result of this verse should not be seen on the surface. Of course, seafarer violent behavior results, but Coleridge brings logical mistakes as well.
