Why hardin rhymes the way it does
Hardin sits on the tight /ษช/, transcribed /ษช/ in our engine, and rings out through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 58 matches, family rhymes 77, additive and subtractive together 139, assonance 10,295, and consonance 1178. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Hardin reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
