What is 'Lyric' ? explain.

Lyric is a song that expresses a Single
emotion.And it is a musical composition. Even if the language of the song
is unpolished it is made musical by the voice of the singer. Even the subject matter of
the Lyric was important provided the singer can evoke the right emotions in the
listners. A Lyric is not long. Edgar Allen Poe, the Americn poer who has many Lyrics to
his credit, said that a Lyric can never be long. Thus the Ode, Sonnet,the song so on are
regarded as Lyrics.Palgrave in the Preface to his Golden
Treasury states that Lyric  "turn on some single
thought,feeling or situation". It is a Subjective poem
giving expression to the poets emotions. Hence it is always
personal
