A simple narrative poem (6)

I believe the answer is:

ballad

(Other definitions for ballad that I've seen before include "A simple or old song" , "Song type" , "Simple song or poem" , "Slow sentimental song" , "Narrative song with a recurrent refrain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
