| Hogwarts The castle lies beyond the eyes of all non-magic souls High upon a hill beside a lake Describing it would take a million quills and parchment scrolls A monumental task to undertake! And yet I look upon its towers, poised to meet the sky, Warmed by fireplaces burning bright And inspiration fills my heart and urges me to try To capture it with humble words I write Like the homes of royalty, its grandeur gives it pride But it was not erected to house kings Here, witchcraft and wizardry are taught, and learned, and plied Here its occupants do magic things! Its houses, named for founders whose diversity was known Focus on the skills they would behold Here the past and present meet, equally at home Full of wondrous tales that must be told The evening sky is imitated in the great hall dome Candles float in air above the throng A hat is placed upon the head of all when first they come To sort them in the ‘house’ where they belong Portraits speak and leave their frames; spirits roam the halls As they’ve done in centuries gone by Stairways shift and change from place to place along the walls Overhead, owls bearing letters fly Objects’ shapes and features are transformed before your eyes Cauldrons brew near brightly colored flasks And echoing from classrooms, incantations memorized As wands are waved, and spells and charms are cast Outside there’s a sports ‘arena’ high above the grounds For a magic athletes’ air-borne game And beyond its borders lies a forest, out of bounds Where enchanted creatures live untamed A fortress standing up against Dark Magic’s evil glare Its walls like armored shields repelling foes Truth be told, no human could be safer anywhere As one, above all others, truly knows A legend comes to study here, and rightly he should start For he has much in common with this place A history, strong character, courage, wisdom, heart Deep inside, and written on his face |
