| The song or lyric is often in quatrains of iambic tetrameter with a rhyme scheme of ABAB or ABBA. The sonnet is a poem of fourteen lines, usually printed without a stanza break (although the lines are internally grouped). An epic poem is "much"longer. Thus, I would say: a sonnet is more lyric. Plus, epic poems can be in free verse -- sonnets can't. I've always thought of sonnets as being ABAB for the first twelve lines then the last two rhyming with each other. (Three quatrain stanzas with a couplet.)      |

| I think a sonnet's more lyrical than epic. The Iliad and the Odyssey by Homer are examples of "epic" poems. |
