The Lady of Shalott-Loreena McKennitt

[00:00.00] 作词 : Alfred Tennyson [00:01.00] 作曲 : Loreena McKennitt [00:34.83]On either side of the river lie [00:39.18]Long fields of barley and of rye, [00:43.47]That clothe the world and meet the sky; [00:47.85]And thro' the field the road run by [00:51.57]To many-towered Camelot; [00:56.49]And up and down the people go, [01:00.54]Gazing where the lilies blow [01:04.77]Round an island there below, [01:08.07]The island of Shalott. [01:13.05]Willows whiten, aspens quiver, [01:17.31]Little breezes dusk and shiver [01:21.57]Thro' the wave that runs for ever [01:26.04]By the island in the river [01:29.49]Flowing down to Camelot. [01:34.50]Four grey walls, and four grey towers, [01:38.82]Overlook a space of flowers, [01:42.99]And the silent isle imbowers [01:46.38]The Lady of Shalott. [01:51.33]Only reapers, reaping early, [01:55.62]In among the bearded barley [01:59.61]Hear a song that echoes cheerly [02:03.57]From the river winding clearly [02:07.71]Down to tower'd Camelot; [02:12.60]And by the moon the reaper weary, [02:16.47]Piling sheaves in uplands airy, [02:20.88]Listening, whispers "'tis the fairy [02:24.36]The Lady of Shalott." [02:46.02]There she weaves by night and day [02:49.86]A magic web with colours gay, [02:53.91]She has heard a whisper say, [02:57.96]A curse is on her if she stay [03:01.53]To look down to Camelot. [03:06.09]She knows not what the curse may be, [03:10.17]And so she weaveth steadily, [03:14.49]And little other care hath she, [03:17.79]The Lady of Shalott. [03:22.65]And moving through a mirror clear [03:26.43]That hangs before her all the year, [03:30.63]Shadows of the world appear. [03:34.74]There she sees the highway near [03:38.61]Winding down to Camelot; [03:43.02]And sometimes thro' the mirror blue [03:47.07]The Knights come riding two and two. [03:51.24]She hath no loyal Knight and true, [03:54.75]The Lady Of Shalott. [03:59.40]But in her web she still delights [04:03.21]To weave the mirror's magic sights, [04:07.23]For often thro' the silent nights [04:11.22]A funeral, with plumes and lights [04:14.67]And music, went to Camelot; [04:19.29]Or when the Moon was overhead, [04:22.98]Came two young lovers lately wed. [04:27.21]"I am half sick of shadows," said [04:30.90]The Lady Of Shalott. [04:54.39]A bow-shot from her bower-eaves, [04:58.38]He rode between the barley sheaves, [05:02.73]The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves, [05:07.20]And flamed upon the brazen greaves [05:11.13]Of bold Sir Lancelot. [05:15.84]A red-cross knight for ever kneel'd [05:19.98]To a lady in his shield, [05:23.97]That sparkled on the yellow field, [05:27.57]Beside remote Shalott. [05:32.22]His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd; [05:36.33]On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode; [05:40.32]From underneath his helmet flow'd [05:43.95]His coal-black curls as on he rode, [05:48.09]As he rode back to Camelot. [05:52.86]From the bank and from the river [05:56.46]He flashed into the crystal mirror, [06:00.97]"Tirra Lirra," by the river [06:04.47]Sang Sir Lancelot. [06:09.03]She left the web, she left the loom, [06:13.20]She made three paces taro' the room, [06:17.43]She saw the water-lily bloom, [06:21.72]She saw the helmet and the plume, [06:25.32]She looked down to Camelot. [06:30.12]Out flew the web and floated wide; [06:34.14]The mirror cracked from side to side; [06:38.14]"The curse is come upon me," cried [06:41.64]The Lady of Shalott. [07:05.37]In the stormy east-wind straining, [07:09.12]The pale yellow woods were waning, [07:13.35]The broad stream in his banks complaining. [07:17.16]Heavily the low sky raining [07:20.76]Over towered Camelot; [07:25.29]Down she came and found a boat [07:29.16]Beneath a willow left afloat, [07:33.30]And round about the prow she wrote [07:36.66]The Lady of Shalott [07:41.31]And down the river's dim expanse [07:45.15]Like some bold seer in a trance, [07:49.17]Seeing all his own mischance - [07:53.31]With a glassy countenance [07:56.43]Did she look to Camelot. [08:01.26]And at the closing of the day [08:05.19]She loosed the chain and down she lay; [08:09.48]The broad stream bore her far away, [08:13.20]The Lady of Shalott. [08:36.72]Heard a carol, mournful, holy, [08:41.01]Chanted loudly, chanted lowly, [08:45.33]Till her blood was frozen slowly, [08:49.89]And her eyes were darkened wholly, [08:53.70]Turn'd to towered Camelot. [08:58.53]For ere she reach'd upon the tide [09:02.46]The first house by the water-side, [09:06.69]Singing in her song she died, [09:10.17]The Lady of Shalott. [09:15.03]Under tower and balcony, [09:18.87]By garden-wall and gallery, [09:22.95]A gleaming shape she floated by, [09:26.85]Dead-pale between the houses high, [09:30.60]Silent into Camelot. [09:35.49]Out upon the wharfs they came, [09:39.24]Knight and Burgher, Lord and Dame, [09:43.32]And round the prow they read her name, [09:46.95]The Lady of Shalott. [10:10.86]Who is this? And what is here? [10:15.39]And in the lighted palace near [10:19.65]Died the sound of royal cheer; [10:23.91]And they crossed themselves for fear, [10:27.54]All the Knights at Camelot; [10:34.47]But Lancelot mused a little space [10:38.67]He said, "She has a lovely face; [10:43.26]God in his mercy lend her grace, [10:47.67]The Lady of Shalott."
