    The harp that once through 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 sleep, the glory's thrill is o'er
    And hearts, that once beat high for praise.
    Now feel that pulse no more.
