Answer:

The title of Roderick's macabre song is "The Haunted Palace."  The words reflect the brother and sister's existence in the House of Usher.

Explanation:

In Stanza 1, Roderick croons about the keepers of the palace, which "good angels tenated," a reference to himself and Madeline.

Stanza 2 recalls their life in the "glory days" in the stately home: " Banners yellow, glorious, golden/ on its roof did float and flow."

The next stanza finds Roderick reminiscing about how everyone who happened to see him and his sister could not fail to recognize their bliss.  They were "(s)pirits moving musically."  

By Stanza 5, the evil has started to seep into the happy home: "Evil things, in robes of sorrow, /Assailed the monarch's high estate."

The concluding stanza speaks of the isolation, physically, emotionally, and spiritually of Roderick and Madeline Usher:

And travellers now within that valley,

Through the red-litten windows, see

To a discordant melody;

Through the pale door,

And laugh—but smile no more.

We can think that the author used the dialogue instead of description to show who the characters are. Using the dialogue will allow the characters to have like their own space in the plot and in this way, they have prominence as well. Making them talk shows distinctive characteristics of them and make it easier to identify them.
