From our glossaey
Lyric
Originally a composition meant for musical accompaniment. The term refers to a short poem in which the poet, the poet’s persona, or another speaker expresses personal feelings. See Robert Herrick’s “To Anthea, who May Command Him Anything,” John Clare’s “I Hid My Love,” Louise Bogan’s “Song for the Last Act,” or Louise Glück’s “Vita Nova.”
Madrigal
A song or short lyric poem intended for multiple singers.
I guess a lyrics is composed for music with or without music. A song is the completed composition?
I would go a step further to say it's only a lyric if the author says it is. And anything is a lyric if the author says it is
