Question

To look down to Camelot.

And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.

That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.

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.
