To the Lady of Shallot
To The Lady Of Shallot
The gallent woman of love
You're a beloved dove;
Enticed by a glamorous knight
Left the tower to get his sight;
Immortal love faded away
Among the wispen willows faraway;
He saw the beauty of pale face
While you were rest in peace.
Oh! poor lady of Shallot
I caught a reflection
It led me to an affection;
A worrier in his attires
Adorned with arms and laurels;
Through the dark still shadows
Beneath the silver moon and stars;
I rowed to "Camelot"
To be with my "Lancelot".
Dear, my lady of Shallot
He was at the quay
Elated eyes were in play;
With a warm embrace
We started life the race;
No more than three days
I learned his dirty ways;
He was in all
Villain , thief and ghoul;
It was my curse
I wish I would pause;
I was whipped , kicked and whacked
Burnt with a hot iron on my thighs and back;
rooted hair and nails out
Punched my nose, it bled out;
Kept me in brutality
My child faced fatality;
Her stiffed cold body
buried in a deep lake muddy.
Help me! the lady of Shallot
That night was long and foggy
Quiet and dark it could be;
I awoke by feelings provoked
Gathered my courage to hold the sword;
Pierce each cell in his body
Till I felt dizzy and giddy;
Stepping over his ruthless blood
I ran as fast as my legs fled.
Mercy upon me! the lady of Shallot
I got a hideout
A broken mirror was found out;
Solitary unkempt tapestry
I solved the mystery;
Fixed mirror gives illusory reflections
I'll weave tapestry with new paragons;
I forgot my tune I can't sing again
I want to be alone here without pain.
Forgive me! the lady of Shallot
