Crossword Genius

Words of song displayed by Sally Richards (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lyric

'words of song' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'displayed by sally richards' is the wordplay.
'displayed by' indicates a hidden word.
'LYRIC' is hidden in the letters of 'sally richards'.

(Other definitions for lyric that I've seen before include "having a light quality" , "Of poetry that expresses the poet's feelings" , "something to sing about? On the contrary" , "Expressing the poet's emotions" , "(Of poetry) expressing emotion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
