Ballads

Ballads: Rose Mary, The White Ship, The King's Tragedy is a collection of three ballads written by the famous English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The first ballad, Rose Mary, tells the story of a young woman who refuses to believe that her lover has died at sea and goes to great lengths to try and bring him back to life. The second ballad, The White Ship, is a tragic tale of a shipwreck that takes the lives of many members of the royal family, including the heir to the throne. The final ballad, The King's Tragedy, is a retelling of the murder of James I of Scotland by his own nobles. All three ballads are written in Rossetti's signature style, with rich language and vivid imagery that brings the stories to life.
