Au Moyen Age la poésie lyrique trouve son origine en Provence, où des troubadours composaient en langue occitane des chansons dans les cours des seigneurs. Dès 1200 cette poésie "courtoise" s'épanouit dans les cours du Nord, tratant de sujets stéréotypés - l'amour, le printemps,... La poésie lyrique est celle qui chante les sentiments humains - joie, chagrin, espérance - (sous forme de ballade, rondeau, lai), avec naturalisme, mélancolie ou satire, et sur des thèmes propres au lyrisme (douleur de l'exil, célébration de la nature).
