Detailed explanation-1: -The Scottish folk ballad ‘Lord Randall’ tells the tale of a man whose heart was broken by his lover, who also poisoned him. The ballad is written in a dialogue form through which Lord Randall is conversing with his mother. The poem is easy to remember because it is written in slant rhyme and incremental repetition.
Detailed explanation-2: -Though “Lord Randall” is about death, loss, and betrayal, it’s also classic tearjerker about the consequences of love. The reason it’s so sad is because it’s got longing and misery all tied up together.
Detailed explanation-3: -The rhyme scheme is regular and in all quatrains it is ABAC. Because this is a ballad which was originally sung to a simple instrumental accompaniment, the rhyme scheme was very important to give more musicality to the composition.
