why is narrative balled in the poem miller of the dee

please give an expert answer and give it so fast

Dear Student,
Ans: Ballad is poem or a song narrating a story in short stanzas. Traditional Ballads can be interpreted as the folk songs which are being passed from one generation to another.

There Was a Jolly Miller Once is a traditional folk song from the Chester area in the north-west of England. It is often titled "The Miller of the Dee" or "The Jolly Miller". Hence, 'Miller of the Dee' is a ballad.

The song was originally part of Issac Bickerstaffe's play, Love In A Village (1762). Subsequently other versions of Bickerstaffe's original song were made by various other poets.

Regards
