Dramatic Narrative: Ballads usually tell a story, focusing on one dramatic event, and the story is usually told in plain, everyday language. Casey definitely has these requirements covered. The poem has a cast of characters and a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. And "Casey…" doesn't send you running for the dictionary every other line.Song: Ballads were traditionally stories meant to be sung. The poem's epigraph, "Sung in the Year 1888 [our emphasis]," along with the poem's strong meter and rhyme, indicate a song-i-ness that fulfills this requirement quite nicely.Meter-Line-Stanza: Ballads are traditionally in iambic lines. Iambs are those little, two-syllable units that follow an unstressed-stressed syllable patten. They make that daDUM sound that seems to pop up so often in poetry. You can really hear those iambs right from the poem's very first line:


The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day.


Did you hear that daDUM daDUM daDUM pattern? That, is the rhythm of the iambs—seven in all in this line.


In

addition to those iambs, ballad lines follow a strict rhyme scheme and

are grouped into four-line stanzas called quatrains. In "Casey at the

Bat," the quatrains follow an AABB rhyme scheme, where each letter

represents that line's end rhyme. Take a look at the end words from

stanza one to see it in action:


day A

play A

same B

game B
