<u>This poem is a great example of lyric poetry as it expresses an emotion and reflects on a theme of a person long gone and their effect on the conscience</u> of the poet. It is able to do so with a great musicality of words and with memorable lines.
The first line sticks with the reader like a refrain of the song and the lyric ability of the poem to convey emotion has been unparalleled.
I<u>t is most definitely an example of lyric as it conveys one central emotion and a theme that surrounds it. </u>
