    Both poems tell tragic stories of love and betrayal that end unhappily. The first is about a man, Lord Randal, who is poisoned by his lover after having his heart broken. The second describes Barbara Allan rejecting her lover after he insults her, with both lovers then meeting unhappy endings. Both ballads originated in Scotland and use the themes of love, rejection, and tragedy to relay their stories in a traditional folk style.
