Narrative poetry tells a story. Narrative poetry has no obvious 'point of view' - since what is happening (the plot and the characters, and sometime the setting) is what the poem 'is about'.
(We can often discover a 'point of view' in a narrative poem - but we need to look for it (in fact this is the business of advanced literary criticism)).
Lyric poetry originates as song. ('Lyric' means 'sung with a lyre accompaniment': early poets accompanied themselves on the lyre, much as modern poets often accompany themselves on a guitar). In lyric poetry the poet talks about something he has seen, heard, felt, or thought. There is an obvious 'point of view' - the point of view of the poet.
