Lyric:
It is a short poem that expresses a single strong emotion of one speaker which can be love, fear or thought.
Example :
O MY Luve’s like a red, red rose, That’s newly sprung in June: O my Luve’s like the melodie, That’s sweetly play’d in tune
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi’ the sun: And I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o’ life shall run
And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve, And fare-thee-weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve, Tho’ 'twere ten thousand mile!
Red, Red Rose By Robert Burns Written in 1794
it is a poem of fourteen lines which follows a very strict rhyme pattern. It is usually divided into two parts: the “octave” (the first eight lines), and the “sestet” (the last six lines). The octave and the sestet are separated by a break in thought: a general statement made in the octave is illustrated or amplified in the sestet.
