By the margin, willow veil'd, Slide the heavy barges trail'd. By slow horses; and unhail'd. The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd. 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.

The Lady Of Shalott is a poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892). Running to 19 stanzas, it was written in 1832 and published 10 years later. It is believed to be based on the Arthurian legend of Elaine Of Astolat (also known as The Maid Of Astolat) who died of a broken heart for the unrequited love of a knight. With her fascination for all things Celtic and mythical, it is hardly surprising that Loreena McKennitt would have set it to music. Running to 11 minutes 34 seconds, it is the fourth track on the 1991 album The Visit.

The Lady Of Shalott Lyrics. On either side of the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And thro' the field the road run by To many-towered Camelot; And up and down the people go Gazing where the lilies flow Round an island there below The island of Shalott. Willows whiten, aspens quiver Little breezes dusk and shiver Thro' the wave that runs for ever By the island in the river Flowing down to Camelot Four grey walls, and four grey towers Overlook a space of flowers And the silent isle embowers The Lady of Shalott
