[00:01.46] PART I
[00:01.82]
[00:02.23] On either side the river lie
[00:02.94] Long fields of barley and of rye,
[00:05.18] That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
[00:07.30] And thro' the field the road runs by
[00:09.46] To many-tower'd Camelot;
[00:11.89] And up and down the people go,
[00:13.68] Gazing where the lilies blow
[00:15.53] Round an island there below,
[00:17.72] The island of Shalott.
[00:19.91]
[00:20.42] Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
[00:21.86] Little breezes dusk and shiver
[00:23.47] Thro' the wave that runs for ever
[00:26.17] By the island in the river
[00:28.48] Flowing down to Camelot.
[00:30.47] Four gray walls, and four gray towers,
[00:32.70] Overlook a space of flowers,
[00:34.45] And the silent isle imbowers
[00:37.61] The Lady of Shalott.
[00:39.33]
[00:39.89] By the margin, willow-veil'd
[00:41.64] Slide the heavy barges trail'd
[00:43.54] By slow horses; and unhail'd
[00:45.69] The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd
[00:48.70] Skimming down to Camelot:
[00:50.41] But who hath seen her wave her hand?
[00:53.00] Or at the casement seen her stand?
[00:55.15] Or is she known in all the land,
[00:57.66] The Lady of Shalott?
[00:59.60]
[01:00.16] Only reapers, reaping early
[01:02.00] In among the bearded barley,
[01:03.30] Hear a song that echoes cheerly
[01:05.37] From the river winding clearly,
[01:07.43] Down to tower'd Camelot:
[01:09.96] And by the moon the reaper weary,
[01:11.75] Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
[01:14.50] Listening, whispers "'Tis the fairy
[01:17.27] Lady of Shalott".
[01:17.96]
[01:18.49] PART II
[01:19.21]
[01:20.15] There she weaves by night and day
[01:22.60] A magic web with colours gay.
[01:23.89] She has heard a whisper say,
[01:25.93] A curse is on her if she stay
[01:28.30] To look down to Camelot.
[01:29.95] She knows not what the 'curse' may be,
[01:32.20] And so she weaveth steadily,
[01:34.57] And little other care hath she,
[01:37.00] The Lady of Shalott.
[01:38.14]
[01:39.60] And moving thro' a mirror clear
[01:40.94] That hangs before her all the year,
[01:42.63] Shadows of the world appear.
[01:44.90] There she sees the highway near
[01:47.80] Winding down to Camelot:
[01:49.10] There the river eddy whirls,
[01:50.64] And there the surly village-churls,
[01:52.99] And the red cloaks of market girls,
[01:55.40] Pass onward from Shalott.
[01:56.27]
[01:57.79] Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
[02:00.65] An abbot on an ambling pad,
[02:02.21] Sometimes a curly shepherd-lad,
[02:04.74] Or long-hair'd page in crimson clad,
[02:07.63] Goes by to tower'd Camelot;
[02:08.71]
[02:10.43] And sometimes thro' the mirror blue
[02:12.62] The knights come riding two and two:
[02:15.40] She hath no loyal knight and true,
[02:17.98] The Lady of Shalott.
[02:18.56]
[02:20.42] But in her web she still delights
[02:22.66] To weave the mirror's magic sights,
[02:25.38] For often thro' the silent nights
[02:27.18] A funeral, with plumes and lights,
[02:29.18] And music, went to Camelot:
[02:31.56] Or when the moon was overhead,
[02:33.56] Came two young lovers lately wed;
[02:36.47] "I am half-sick of shadows," said
[02:40.80] The Lady of Shalott.
[02:40.62]
[02:41.19] PART III
[02:41.78]
[02:42.42] A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
[02:44.23] He rode between the barley sheaves,
[02:45.93] The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves,
[02:48.40] And flamed upon the brazen greaves
[02:50.71] Of bold Sir Lancelot.
[02:52.89] A redcross knight for ever kneel'd
[02:55.40] To a lady in his shield,
[02:56.72] That sparkled on the yellow field,
[02:58.97] Beside remote Shalott.
[02:59.80]
[03:00.99] The gemmy bridle glitter'd free,
[03:02.43] Like to some branch of stars we see
[03:04.93] Hung in the golden Galaxy.
[03:06.60] The bridle bells rang merrily
[03:09.14] As he rode down to Camelot:
[03:11.34] And from his blazon'd baldric slung
[03:13.90] A mighty silver bugle hung,
[03:14.94] And as he rode his armour rung,
[03:17.22] Beside remote Shalott.
[03:18.10]
[03:19.75] All in the blue unclouded weather
[03:21.81] Thick-jewell'd shone the saddle-leather,
[03:24.50] The helmet and the helmet-feather
[03:26.10] Burn'd like one burning flame together,
[03:29.46] As he rode down to Camelot.
[03:32.10] As often thro' the purple night,
[03:33.76] Below the starry clusters bright,
[03:35.95] Some bearded meteor, burning bright,
[03:38.49] Moves over still Shalott.
[03:38.97]
[03:41.40] His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
[03:43.54] On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
[03:45.84] From underneath his helmet flow'd
[03:47.64] His coal-black curls as on he rode,
[03:50.90] As he rode down to Camelot.
[03:52.56] From the bank and from the river
[03:54.50] He flashed into the crystal mirror,
[03:56.10] "Tirra lirra," by the river
[03:57.51] Sang Sir Lancelot.
[03:57.89]
[04:00.50] She left the web, she left the loom;
[04:02.17] She made three paces thro' the room,
[04:04.77] She saw the water-lily bloom,
[04:06.82] She saw the helmet and the plume,
[04:09.18] She look'd down to Camelot.
[04:11.64] Out flew the web and floated wide;
[04:14.26] The mirror crack'd from side to side;
[04:17.13] "The curse is come upon me," cried
[04:19.55] The Lady of Shalott.
[04:20.31]
[04:20.63] PART IV
[04:21.20]
[04:21.58] In the stormy east-wind straining,
[04:23.23] The pale yellow woods were waning,
[04:25.00] The broad stream in his banks complaining,
[04:27.31] Heavily the low sky raining
[04:29.59] Over tower'd Camelot;
[04:31.31] Down she came and found a boat
[04:33.58] Beneath a willow left afloat,
[04:35.32] And round about the prow she wrote
[04:38.25] 'The Lady of Shalott.'
[04:40.20] And down the river's dim expanse--
[04:41.83] Like some bold seёr in a trance,
[04:43.95] Seeing all his own mischance--
[04:46.12] With a glassy countenance
[04:47.72] Did she look to Camelot.
[04:49.83] And at the closing of the day
[04:51.29] She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
[04:53.73] The broad stream bore her far away,
[04:56.91] The Lady of Shalott.
[04:57.70]
[04:59.20] Lying, robed in snowy white
[05:00.90] That loosely flew to left and right--
[05:03.30] The leaves upon her falling light--
[05:05.20] Thro' the noises of the night
[05:06.42] She floated down to Camelot;
[05:08.37] And as the boat-head wound along
[05:10.90] The willowy hills and fields among,
[05:12.29] They heard her singing her last song,
[05:15.74] The Lady of Shalott.
[05:16.36]
[05:17.88] Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
[05:20.51] Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
[05:22.95] Till her blood was frozen slowly,
[05:25.73] And her eyes were darken'd wholly,
[05:28.48] Turn'd to tower'd Camelot;
[05:31.11] For ere she reach'd upon the tide
[05:33.52] The first house by the water-side,
[05:35.99] Singing in her song she died,
[05:40.17] The Lady of Shalott.
[05:40.90]
[05:42.72] Under tower and balcony,
[05:44.62] By garden-wall and gallery,
[05:46.43] A gleaming shape she floated by,
[05:48.69] Dead-pale between the houses high,
[05:51.51] Silent into Camelot.
[05:53.66] Out upon the wharfs they came,
[05:55.72] Knight and burgher, lord and dame,
[05:58.59] And round the prow they read her name,
[06:01.69] 'The Lady of Shalott'
[06:04.42] Who is this? And what is here?
[06:07.34] And in the lighted palace near
[06:09.25] Died the sound of royal cheer;
[06:11.44] And they cross'd themselves for fear,
[06:13.61] All the knights at Camelot:
[06:16.37] But Lancelot mused a little space;
[06:19.58] He said, "She has a lovely face;
[06:23.51] God in his mercy lend her grace,
[06:27.19] The Lady of Shalott".
[00:01.46] PART I
[00:01.82]

[01:20.15] There she weaves by night and day
[01:22.60] A magic web with colours gay.
[01:23.89] She has heard a whisper say,
[01:25.93] A curse is on her if she stay

[00:02.23] On either side the river lie

[01:18.49] PART II
[01:19.21]
[01:20.15] There she weaves by night and day
[01:22.60] A magic web with colours gay.
[01:23.89] She has heard a whisper say,
[01:25.93] A curse is on her if she stay
[01:28.30] To look down to Camelot.
[01:29.95] She knows not what the ' curse' may be,
[01:32.20] And so she weaveth steadily,
[01:34.57] And little other care hath she,
[01:37.00] The Lady of Shalott.
[01:38.14]
[01:39.60] And moving thro' a mirror clear
[01:40.94] That hangs before her all the year,
[01:42.63] Shadows of the world appear.
[01:44.90] There she sees the highway near
[01:47.80] Winding down to Camelot:
[01:49.10] There the river eddy whirls,
[01:50.64] And there the surly villagechurls,
[01:52.99] And the red cloaks of market girls,
[01:55.40] Pass onward from Shalott.
[01:56.27]
[01:57.79] Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
[02:00.65] An abbot on an ambling pad,
[02:02.21] Sometimes a curly shepherdlad,
[02:04.74] Or longhair' d page in crimson clad,
[02:07.63] Goes by to tower' d Camelot
[02:08.71]
[02:10.43] And sometimes thro' the mirror blue
[02:12.62] The knights come riding two and two:
[02:15.40] She hath no loyal knight and true,
[02:17.98] The Lady of Shalott.
[02:18.56]
[02:20.42] But in her web she still delights
[02:22.66] To weave the mirror' s magic sights,
[02:25.38] For often thro' the silent nights
[02:27.18] A funeral, with plumes and lights,
[02:29.18] And music, went to Camelot:
[02:31.56] Or when the moon was overhead,
[02:33.56] Came two young lovers lately wed
[02:36.47] " I am halfsick of shadows," said
[02:40.80] The Lady of Shalott.
[02:40.62]
[02:41.19] PART III
[02:41.78]
[02:42.42] A bowshot from her bowereaves,
[02:44.23] He rode between the barley sheaves,
[02:45.93] The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves,
[02:48.40] And flamed upon the brazen greaves
[02:50.71] Of bold Sir Lancelot.
[02:52.89] A redcross knight for ever kneel' d
[02:55.40] To a lady in his shield,
[02:56.72] That sparkled on the yellow field,
[02:58.97] Beside remote Shalott.
[02:59.80]
[03:00.99] The gemmy bridle glitter' d free,
[03:02.43] Like to some branch of stars we see
[03:04.93] Hung in the golden Galaxy.
[03:06.60] The bridle bells rang merrily
[03:09.14] As he rode down to Camelot:
[03:11.34] And from his blazon' d baldric slung
[03:13.90] A mighty silver bugle hung,
[03:14.94] And as he rode his armour rung,
[03:17.22] Beside remote Shalott.
[03:18.10]
[03:19.75] All in the blue unclouded weather
[03:21.81] Thickjewell' d shone the saddleleather,
[03:24.50] The helmet and the helmetfeather
[03:26.10] Burn' d like one burning flame together,
[03:29.46] As he rode down to Camelot.
[03:32.10] As often thro' the purple night,
[03:33.76] Below the starry clusters bright,
[03:35.95] Some bearded meteor, burning bright,
[03:38.49] Moves over still Shalott.
[03:38.97]
[03:41.40] His broad clear brow in sunlight glow' d
[03:43.54] On burnish' d hooves his warhorse trode
[03:45.84] From underneath his helmet flow' d
[03:47.64] His coalblack curls as on he rode,
[03:50.90] As he rode down to Camelot.
[03:52.56] From the bank and from the river
[03:54.50] He flashed into the crystal mirror,
[03:56.10] " Tirra lirra," by the river
[03:57.51] Sang Sir Lancelot.
[03:57.89]
[04:00.50] She left the web, she left the loom
[04:02.17] She made three paces thro' the room,
[04:04.77] She saw the waterlily bloom,
[04:06.82] She saw the helmet and the plume,
[04:09.18] She look' d down to Camelot.
[04:11.64] Out flew the web and floated wide
[04:14.26] The mirror crack' d from side to side
[04:17.13] " The curse is come upon me," cried
[04:19.55] The Lady of Shalott.
[04:20.31]
[04:20.63] PART IV
[04:21.20]
[04:21.58] In the stormy eastwind straining,
[04:23.23] The pale yellow woods were waning,
[04:25.00] The broad stream in his banks complaining,
[04:27.31] Heavily the low sky raining
[04:29.59] Over tower' d Camelot
[04:31.31] Down she came and found a boat
[04:33.58] Beneath a willow left afloat,
[04:35.32] And round about the prow she wrote
[04:38.25] ' The Lady of Shalott.'
[04:40.20] And down the river' s dim expanse
[04:41.83] Like some bold se r in a trance,
[04:43.95] Seeing all his own mischance
[04:46.12] With a glassy countenance
[04:47.72] Did she look to Camelot.
[04:49.83] And at the closing of the day
[04:51.29] She loosed the chain, and down she lay
[04:53.73] The broad stream bore her far away,
[04:56.91] The Lady of Shalott.
[04:57.70]
[04:59.20] Lying, robed in snowy white
[05:00.90] That loosely flew to left and right
[05:03.30] The leaves upon her falling light
[05:05.20] Thro' the noises of the night
[05:06.42] She floated down to Camelot
[05:08.37] And as the boathead wound along
[05:10.90] The willowy hills and fields among,
[05:12.29] They heard her singing her last song,
[05:15.74] The Lady of Shalott.
[05:16.36]
[05:17.88] Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
[05:20.51] Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
[05:22.95] Till her blood was frozen slowly,
[05:25.73] And her eyes were darken' d wholly,
[05:28.48] Turn' d to tower' d Camelot
[05:31.11] For ere she reach' d upon the tide
[05:33.52] The first house by the waterside,
[05:35.99] Singing in her song she died,
[05:40.17] The Lady of Shalott.
[05:40.90]
[05:42.72] Under tower and balcony,
[05:44.62] By gardenwall and gallery,
[05:46.43] A gleaming shape she floated by,
[05:48.69] Deadpale between the houses high,
[05:51.51] Silent into Camelot.
[05:53.66] Out upon the wharfs they came,
[05:55.72] Knight and burgher, lord and dame,
[05:58.59] And round the prow they read her name,
[06:01.69] ' The Lady of Shalott'
[06:04.42] Who is this? And what is here?
[06:07.34] And in the lighted palace near
[06:09.25] Died the sound of royal cheer
[06:11.44] And they cross' d themselves for fear,
[06:13.61] All the knights at Camelot:
[06:16.37] But Lancelot mused a little space
[06:19.58] He said, " She has a lovely face
[06:23.51] God in his mercy lend her grace,
[06:27.19] The Lady of Shalott".
