miriam ingram - the lady of shalott lyrics
on either side the river lie
long fields of barley and of rye
that clothe the world and meet the sky
and through the field the road runs by
to many_tower’d camelot
and up and down the people go
gazing where the lillies blow
round an island there below
the island of shalott
willows whiten, aspens quiver
little breezes dusk and shiver
through the wave that runs forever
by the island in the river
flowing down to camelot
four grey walls and four grey towers
overlook a sp_ce of flowers
and the silent isle imbowers
the lady of shalott
only reapers, reaping early
in among the bearded barley
hear a song that echoes cheerly
from the river winding clearly
down to tower’d camelot
and by the moon the reaper weary
piling sheaves in uplands airy
listening, whispers
“tis the fairy lady of shalott”
there she weaves by night and day
a magic web with colours g_y
she has heard a whisper say
a curse is on her if she stay
to look down to camelot
she knows not what the curse may be
and so she weaveth steadily
and little other care hath she
the lady of shalott
and moving through a mirror clear
that hangs before her all the year
shadows of the world appear
there she sees the highway near
winding down to camelot
there the river eddy whirls
and there, the surly village_churls
and the red cloaks of market girls
pass onward from shalott
but in her web she still delights
to weave the mirror’s magic sights
for often through the silent nights
a funeral with plumes and lights
and music, went to camelot
or when the moon was overhead
came two young lovers, lately wed
i am half_sick of shadows said
the lady of shalott
a bow_shot from her bower eaves
he rode between the barley_sheaves
the sun came dazzling through the leaves
and flamed upon the brazen greaves
of bold sir lancelot
a red_crossed knight forever kneel’d
to a lady in his shield
that sparkled on the yellow field
beside remote shalott
his broad clear brow in sunlight glow’d
on burnish’d hooves his war_horse trode
from underneath his helmet flow’d
his coal_black curls as on he rode
as he rode down to camelot
from the bank and from the river
he flashed into the crystal mirror
“tirra lirra” by the river
sang sir lancelot
she left the web, she left the loom
she made three paces through the room
she saw the water_lily bloom
she saw the helmet and the plume
she look’d down to camelot
out flew the web and floated wide
the mirror crack’d from side to side
“the curse is come upon me!” cried
the lady of shalott
in the stormy east_wind straining
the pale yellow woods were waning
the broad stream in his banks complaining
heavily, the low sky raining
over tower’d camelot
down she came and found a boat
beneath a willow left afloat
and round about the prow she wrote
the lady of shalott
and down the river’s dim expanse
like some bold seer in a trance
seeing all his own mischance
with a glassy countenance
did she look to camelot
and at the closing of the day
she loosed the chain and down she lay
the broad stream bore her far away
the lady of shalott
lying robed in snowy white
that loosely flew to left, to right
the leaves upon her falling light
thro’ the noises of the night
she floated down to camelot
and as the boat_head wound along
the willowy hills and fields among
they heard her singing her last song
the lady of shalott
heard a carol, mournful, holy
chanted loudly, chanted lowly
till her blood was frozen slowly
and her eyes were darkened wholly
turned to tower’d camelot
for ere she reached upon the tide
the first house by the waterside
singing in her song, she died
the lady of shalott
under tower and balcony
by garden wall and gallery
a gleaming shape, she floated by
dead_pale between the houses high
silent into camelot
out upon the wharfs they came
knight and bhurger, lord and dame
and round the prow, they read her name
the lady of shalott
who is this? and what is here?
and in the lighted palace near
died the sound of royal cheer
and they cross’d themselves for fear
all the knights at camelot
but lancelot mused a little sp_ce
he said, “she has a lovely face
god in his mercy, lend her grace
the lady of shalott”
