Lyric poetry is a form of poetry which expresses personal emotions or feelings, typically spoken in the first person.〔Scott, Clive, Vers libre : the emergence of free verse in France, 1886–1914 Clarendon Press, Oxford ISBN 9780198151593〕 The term derives from a form of Ancient Greek literature, the lyric, which was defined by its musical accompaniment, usually on a stringed instrument known as a lyre.〔Miller, Andrew. ''(Greek Lyric: An Anthology in Translation )'', (pp. xii ff ). Hackett Publishing (Indianapolis), 1996. ISBN 978-0872202917.〕 The term owes its importance in literary theory to the division developed by Aristotle between three broad categories of poetry: lyrical, dramatic and epic. ==Meters== Much lyric poetry depends on regular meter based either on number of syllables or on stress. The most common meters are as follows: *Iambic – two syllables, with the short or unstressed syllable followed by the long or stressed syllable. *Trochaic – two syllables, with the long or stressed syllable followed by the short or unstressed syllable. In English, this metre is found almost entirely in lyric poetry.〔Stephen Adams, ''Poetic Designs: an introduction to meters, verse forms, and figures of speech'', Broadview Press, 1997, p55. ISBN 1-55111-129-2〕 *Pyrrhic – Two unstressed syllables *Anapestic – three syllables, with the first two short or unstressed and the last long or stressed. *Dactylic – three syllables, with the first one long or stressed and the other two short or unstressed. *Spondaic – two syllables, with two successive long or stressed syllables. Some forms have a combination of meters, often using a different meter for the refrain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lyric poetry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
