josiecarioca:josiecarioca:josiecarioca:Snape`s Lenore by JosieCarioca LENORE.BY EDGAR ALLAN POE.Ah, broken is the golden bowl!The spirit flown forever!Let the bell toll!—A saintly soulGlides down the Stygian river!And let the burial rite be read—The funeral song be sung—A dirge for the most lovely deadThat ever died so young!And, Guy De Vere,Hast thou no tear?Weep now or nevermore!See, on yon drearAnd rigid bier,Low lies thy love Lenore!“Yon heir, whose cheeks of pallid hueWith tears are streaming wet,Sees only, throughTheir crocodile dew,A vacant coronet—False friends! ye loved her for her wealthAnd hated her for her pride,And, when she fell in feeble health,Ye blessed her—that she died.How shall the ritual, then, be read?The requiem how be sungFor her most wrong’d of all the deadThat ever died so young?”Peccavimus!But rave not thus!And let the solemn songGo up to God so mournfully that she may feel no wrong!The sweet LenoreHath “gone before”With young hope at her side,And thou art wildFor the dear childThat should have been thy bride—For her, the fairAnd debonair,That now so lowly lies—The life still thereUpon her hair,The death upon her eyes.“Avaunt!—to-nightMy heart is light—No dirge will I upraise,But waft the angel on her flightWith a Pæan of old days!Let no bell toll!Lest her sweet soul,Amid its hallow’d mirth,Should catch the noteAs it doth floatUp from the damned earth—To friends above, from fiends below, th’ indignant ghost is riven—From grief and moanTo a gold throneBeside the King of Heaven?”I have no idea why I didn´t post this on October 31st, but better late than never I guess. Old fanart of mine.Rebloging because Snape has his birthday on the same month as Edgar Allan PoeThis fanart of mine if suuuuper old (I haven´t been to deviantArt in literal years now!)but it’s always fitting to reblog it on Edgwar Allan Poe’s birthday. -- source link
