YAY!

there she weaves by night and day
a magic web with colors gay
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...

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.

and down the river's dim expanse
like some bold seer in a trane
seeig all hs 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 ~ from "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
