Ballad stanza
In poetry, a Ballad stanza is the four-line stanza, known as a quatrain, most often found in the folk ballad. This form consists of alternating four- and three-stress lines. Usually only the second and fourth lines rhyme (in an a/b/c/b pattern). Assonance in place of rhyme is common. Samuel Taylor Coleridge adopted the ballad stanza in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, alternating eight and six syllable lines. All in a hot and copper sky!The bloody Sun, at noon,Right up above the mast did stand,No bigger than the Moon.Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, lines 111 – 114
