In Noctem

"In Noctem" was a song sung by the Hogwarts choir in 1997, conducted by Filius Flitwick, shortly before the school's headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, was killed by Severus Snape. The song featured four verses, in both English and Latin, with the Latin lyrics being the same as the English ones.

Lyrics
''Carry my soul into the night May the stars light my way I glory in the sight As darkness﻿ takes the day''

'' Ferte in noctem animam meam Illustrent stellae viam meam Aspectu illo glorior Dum capit nox diem

Cantate vitae canticum Sine dolore actae Dicite eis quos amabam Me nunquam obliturum

Sing a song, a song of life Lived without regret Tell the ones, the ones I loved I never will forget.''

Never will forget.
