Lyricism

Lyricism is a term used to describe a piece of art considered to have deep emotions.[1] Its origin is found in the word lyric, derived via Latin lyricus from the Greek λυρικός (lurikós),[2] the adjectival form of lyre.[3] As a musical term, it is often employed to relate to the capability of a lyricist.
