A poem that tells a story with plot setting and characters?

The Ballad of the Sea

In a land of myth and a land of lore,

Where the sea meets the sky,

Lived a maid with skin so fair,

And eyes that sparkled like the stars.

Her name was Mary, and she was loved,

By all who knew her well.

But there was one who loved her more,

Than anyone could tell.

His name was Jack, a handsome lad,

With a heart of gold and a smile so bright.

He loved Mary from the moment he saw her,

And he knew he had to make her his.

But there was one thing standing in his way,

A fierce and wicked sea.

It was said to be impossible to cross,

And no one had ever succeeded.

But Jack was determined to win Mary's heart,

And he vowed to cross the sea.

He set out on a stormy night,

And battled the waves with all his might.

For days he sailed, and for nights he fought,

But he never gave up hope.

Finally, after a long and arduous journey,

He reached the other shore.

Mary was overjoyed to see him,

And they were married soon after.

They lived happily ever after,

In a land of myth and a land of lore.
