The Lament of Draco Malfoy
(Parody of Alone by Edgar Alan Poe)
From wizards youth I have not been
As other wizards - I have not seen
As others wizards - I could not bring
My happiness just from seeing them -
From the same place as they have
I did not know sadness as they did
My heart did not jump for joy as theirs did -
Everything I loved I loved alone-
Then - while yet a child - in the eve
Of a most dark life - was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still -
From the torrent, or the fountain -
From the red cliff of the mountain -
From the sun that 'round me still turned
In its autumn tint of gold -
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by -
From the thunder, and the storm -
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a Dark Lord in my view -
