I tried to make a link to the page from the Merriam Webster website but it wouldn't work when I clicked on it.

Main Entry: 2lyric

Etymology: Middle French or Latin; Middle French lyrique, from Latin lyricus, from Greek lyrikos, from lyra
1 a : suitable for singing to the lyre or for being set to music and sung b : of, relating to, or being drama set to music; especially : OPERATI

A lyric is a poem. Not all poems are meant to be sung. Lyric poetry is. Whether or not it has music composed for it already or not, it will still be a lyric if it is meant to be sung.
