Subject: RE: Folklore: Historic Instrument Comes to Inobu
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,         5
So glory's thrill is o'er,
And hearts, that once beat high for praise,
Now feel that pulse no more.

The Harp that Once Through Tara's Halls
Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
