I do not own Harry Potter or Spoon River Anthology.
ALBUS PERCIVAL WULFRIC BRIAN DUMBLEDORE
(MAY 1845-JUNE 1947)
"A noble spirit with a heart of gold:
The Order Merlin and Supreme Mugwump;
A kind old man with wisdom ages old,
And whims that do the common people stump."
So glorified shall be my lengthy years
Of teaching, leading, fighting for my cause;
My absence may bring on some bouts of tears,
And thus in grief you all forget my flaws.
Remember what I told you all of love,
And trusting in redemption of all men.
Spend not your time in tears resulting of
These speeches that tell merely what has been.
For still I think I say it better when I speak,
In brief, of "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"
