The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFGHIHI| The harp that once through Tara's halls | A |
| The soul of music shed | B |
| Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls | A |
| As if that soul were fled | B |
| So sleeps the pride of former days | C |
| So glory's thrill is o'er | D |
| And hearts that once beat high for praise | C |
| Now feel that pulse no more | E |
| - | |
| No more to chiefs and ladies bright | F |
| The harp of Tara swells | G |
| The chord alone that breaks at night | F |
| Its tale of ruin tells | G |
| Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes | H |
| The only throb she gives | I |
| Is when some heart indignant breaks | H |
| To show that still she lives | I |
