Lyric is the word used to describe a form of poetry, usually rather light and fanciful often following a set pattern. The word is rooted in the word "lyre", the implication being that the lyric poem is suitable for singing with a lyre, although the modern use of the expression "lyric poetry" is separate from the term "lyrics", which are, indeed, the words set to music.
