There She Weaves by Night and Day

"Willows whiten, aspens quiver, / Little breezes dusk and shiver / Thro' the wave that runs forever / By the island in the river / Flowing down to Camelot. / Four gray walls, and four gray towers, / Overlook a space of flowers, / And the silent isle imbowers / The Lady of Shalott."... "There she weaves by night and day / A magic web with colors 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 weaveth steadily, / And little other care hath she, / The Lady of Shalott." (The Lady of Shalott - Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
