But also, by lyrical, it designates the literary genre to which the works correspond and belong, generally structured in verse, which mainly express the feelings of the author and are aimed at awakening similar feelings in the listener or reader. All the emotions or feelings that the author expresses will revolve around an object of his affection and esteem, which turns out to be his greatest source of inspiration..
It has received the name of lyrical because in ancient times in Greece this genre was sung and the musical instrument through which the music was created was called Lira and hence its name came from.
The traditional form that this type of genre acquires is the verse sung in the first person, the verb tenses, past, present and future tend to be confused and through it, as we said, the deepest feelings, emotions, moods will be communicated , loving states, among other personal issues, closely linked to affection.
This genre does not have its own meter or rhythm, but the poet will use those that seem most appropriate to better express his feelings.
It includes the ode, the song, the ballad, the elegy, the sonnet and all those theater pieces that are destined to be sung, such as operas and lyrical dramas..
Among the components of lyrical language, the following stand out: lyrical speaker (the one who expresses all the feelings in the poem about an object), the lyrical object (It is the entity that awakens the feelings of the poet), the lyrical motif (the subject of the lyrical work) and the lyrical attitude (The way through which the speaker relates his emotions and that can occur in three ways: enunciative, apostrophic and pathic).
