Songtext von The Harp That Once

The harp that once : to oombayga and family The harp that once through taras halls The soul of music shed Now hangs as mute on taras walls As if that soul were fled So sleeps the pride of former days So glorys thrill is oer 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
