Letra de The Lady of Shalott (Live Trio - October 28, 2016 Gaillard Centre)
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 run by To many towered Camelot And up and down the people go Gazing where the lilies blow Round an island there below The island of ShalottOnly reapers, reaping early In amongst the bearded barley Hear a song that echoes cheerly From the river winding clearly Flowing down to Camelot And by the moon the reapers weary Piling sheaves in uplands airy Listening, whispers tis the fairy The lady of ShalottThere she weaves both night and day A magic web with colours 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 weaves steadily And little other care hath she The lady of ShalottA 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 cross knight for ever kneeled To a lady in his shield That sparkled on the yellow field Beside remote ShalottShe 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 looked to Camelot But flew the web and floated wide The mirror cracked from side to side The curse is come upon me, cried The lady of ShalottIn the stormy east wind straining The pale yellow wods were waning The broad stream in his banks complaining Heavily the low sky raining Over towered Camelot Down she came and found a boat Beneath a willow left afloat And round about the prow she wrote The Lady of ShalottWho is this? and what is here? The lighted palace near Died the sound of royal cheer And they crossed themselves for fear All the knights at Camelot But Lancelot mused a little space He said, She has a lovely face God in his mercy lend her grace The Lady of Shalott
