Strictly, the | is not a bar marker - it's a bar check.  Lilypond 
automatically puts bars in - but it's helpful to tell it where you think 
they should be - that way you check that the bars are in the right places. 
So you _can_ delete the | characters from your melody, and you _should_ 
delete them from the lyrics.
