Answer 1

Answer:

Ballads tell a story in rhyme, and in "The Ballad of Father Gilligan," Yeats's speaker relates the story of how on one particular evening, God showed mercy on both a tired old priest and a man at the moment of his death. The theme is God's omnipresence and grace in the lives of the faithful.
