Part I	A
	-
On either side the river lie	A
Long fields of barley and of rye	A
That clothe the wold and meet the sky	A
And thro' the field the road runs by	A
To many tower'd Camelot	B
And up and down the people go	C
Gazing where the lilies blow	C
Round an island there below	C
The island of Shalott	B
	-
	-
Willows whiten aspens quiver	D
Little breezes dusk and shiver	D
Thro' the wave that runs for ever	D
By the island in the river	D
Flowing down to Camelot	B
Four gray walls and four gray towers	E
Overlook a space of flowers	E
And the silent isle imbowers	E
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
By the margin willow veil'd	B
Slide the heavy barges trail'd	B
By slow horses and unhail'd	B
The shallop flitteth silken sail'd	B
Skimming down to Camelot	B
But who hath seen her wave her hand	B
Or at the casement seen her stand	B
Or is she known in all the land	B
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
Only reapers reaping early	F
In among the bearded barley	F
Hear a song that echoes cheerly	F
From the river winding clearly	F
Down to tower'd Camelot	B
And by the moon the reaper weary	F
Piling sheaves in uplands airy	F
Listening whispers 'Tis the fairy	F
Lady of Shalott	B
	-
Part II	A
	-
There she weaves by night and day	B
A magic web with colours gay	B
She has heard a whisper say	B
A curse is on her if she stay	B
To look down to Camelot	B
She knows not what the curse may be	F
And so she weaveth steadily	F
And little other care hath she	F
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
And moving thro' a mirror clear	G
That hangs before her all the year	G
Shadows of the world appear	G
There she sees the highway near	G
Winding down to Camelot	B
There the river eddy whirls	B
And there the surly village churls	B
And the red cloaks of market girls	B
Pass onward from Shalott	B
	-
Sometimes a troop of damsels glad	B
An abbot on an ambling pad	B
Sometimes a curly shepherd lad	B
Or long hair'd page in crimson clad	B
Goes by to tower'd Camelot	B
And sometimes thro' the mirror blue	F
The knights come riding two and two	F
She hath no loyal knight and true	F
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
But in her web she still delights	B
To weave the mirror's magic sights	B
For often thro' the silent nights	B
A funeral with plumes and lights	B
And music went to Camelot	B
Or when the moon was overhead	B
Came two young lovers lately wed	B
I am half sick of shadows said	B
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
Part III	A
	-
A bow shot from her bower eaves	B
He rode between the barley sheaves	B
The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves	B
And flamed upon the brazen greaves	B
Of bold Sir Lancelot	B
A red cross knight for ever kneel'd	B
To a lady in his shield	B
That sparkled on the yellow field	B
Beside remote Shalott	B
	-
The gemmy bridle glitter'd free	F
Like to some branch of stars we see	F
Hung in the golden Galaxy	F
The bridle bells rang merrily	F
As he rode down to Camelot	B
And from his blazon'd baldric slung	H
A mighty silver bugle hung	H
And as he rode his armour rung	H
Beside remote Shalott	B
	-
All in the blue unclouded weather	D
Thick jewell'd shone the saddle leather	D
The helmet and the helmet feather	D
Burn'd like one burning flame together	D
As he rode down to Camelot	B
As often thro' the purple night	B
Below the starry clusters bright	B
Some bearded meteor trailing light	B
Moves over still Shalott	B
	-
His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd	B
On burnish'd hooves his war horse trode	B
From underneath his helmet flow'd	B
His coal black curls as on he rode	B
As he rode down to Camelot	B
From the bank and from the river	D
He flash'd into the crystal mirror	D
Tirra lirra by the river	D
Sang Sir Lancelot	B
	-
She left the web she left the loom	I
She made three paces thro' the room	I
She saw the water lily bloom	I
She saw the helmet and the plume	I
She look'd down to Camelot	B
Out flew the web and floated wide	B
The mirror crack'd from side to side	B
The curse is come upon me cried	B
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
Part IV	J
	-
In the stormy east wind straining	K
The pale yellow woods were waning	K
The broad stream in his banks complaining	K
Heavily the low sky raining	K
Over tower'd Camelot	B
Down she came and found a boat	B
Beneath a willow left afloat	B
And round about the prow she wrote	B
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
And down the river's dim expanse	B
Like some bold seer in a trance	B
Seeing all his own mischance	B
With a glassy countenance	B
Did she look to Camelot	B
And at the closing of the day	B
She loosed the chain and down she lay	B
The broad stream bore her far away	B
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
Lying robed in snowy white	B
That loosely flew to left and right	B
The leaves upon her falling light	B
Thro' the noises of the night	B
She floated down to Camelot	B
And as the boat head wound along	L
The willowy hills and fields among	H
They heard her singing her last song	L
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
Heard a carol mournful holy	F
Chanted loudly chanted lowly	F
Till her blood was frozen slowly	F
And her eyes were darken'd wholly	F
Turn'd to tower'd Camelot	B
For ere she reach'd upon the tide	B
The first house by the water side	B
Singing in her song she died	B
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
Under tower and balcony	F
By garden wall and gallery	F
A gleaming shape she floated by	A
Dead pale between the houses high	A
Silent into Camelot	B
Out upon the wharfs they came	M
Knight and burgher lord and dame	M
And round the prow they read her name	M
The Lady of Shalott	B
	-
Who is this and what is here	N
And in the lighted palace near	G
Died the sound of royal cheer	G
And they cross'd themselves for fear	G
All the knights at Camelot	B
But Lancelot mused a little space	B
He said She has a lovely face	B
God in his mercy lend her grace	B
The Lady of Shalott	B
