Silence Is In Our Festal Halls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGHIHI EJEJKLKL MNMNOPOP| Silence is in our festal halls | A |
| Sweet son of song thy course is o'er | B |
| In vain on thee sad Erin calls | A |
| Her minstrel's voice responds no more | C |
| All silent as the Eolian shell | D |
| Sleeps at the close of some bright day | E |
| When the sweet breeze that waked its swell | D |
| At sunny morn hath died away | E |
| - | |
| Yet at our feasts thy spirit long | F |
| Awaked by music's spell shall rise | G |
| For name so link'd with deathless song | F |
| Partakes its charm and never dies | G |
| And even within the holy fane | H |
| When music wafts the soul to heaven | I |
| One thought to him whose earliest strain | H |
| Was echoed there shall long be given | I |
| - | |
| But where is now the cheerful day | E |
| The social night when by thy side | J |
| He who now weaves this parting lay | E |
| His skilless voice with thine allied | J |
| And sung those songs whose every tone | K |
| When bard and minstrel long have past | L |
| Shall still in sweetness all their own | K |
| Embalm'd by fame undying last | L |
| - | |
| Yes Erin shine alone the fame | M |
| Or if thy bard have shared the crown | N |
| From thee the borrow'd glory came | M |
| And at thy feet is now laid down | N |
| Enough if Freedom still inspire | O |
| His latest song and still there be | P |
| As evening closes round his lyre | O |
| One ray upon its chords from thee | P |
