The Harp That Once Thro' Tara's Halls |
The harp that once through Tara’s halls |
The soul of music shed |
Now hangs as mute on Tara’s walls |
As if that soul were fled |
So sleeps the pride of former days |
So glory’s thrill is o’er |
And the hearts that once beat high for praise |
Now feel that pulse no more |
No more to chiefs and ladies bright |
The harp of Tara swells |
The chord alone that breaks at night |
Its tale of ruin tells |
Thus freedom now so seldom wakes |
The only throb she gives |
Is when some heart indignant breaks |
To show that still she lives |
