Is this Lyric Poetry or Narrative Poetry?

“I READ, before my eyelids dropt their shade,

⁠”The Legend of Good Women,” long ago

Sung by the morning star of song, who made

⁠His music heard below;

Dan Chaucer, the first warbler, whose sweet breath

⁠Preluded those melodious bursts that fill

The spacious times of great Elizabeth

⁠With sounds that echo still.”
