I don't think there is a particular rhythm, each passage is just telling about poe's life, and the materials the bells are made of are what part of his life, so the poem is pretty much just a jingle that fits all together

I believe that the bells were in tune during certain periods of Poe's life and when disaster hit they were out of tune. If you read this poem carefully it states brazen bells were out of tune. But during the good times like the silver or the golden the bells were in harmony and melody.
