The first version of the poem was published in London in 1833 by Edward Moxon. The final revised version was published by Moxon in London in 1842. But on her canvas, she is always happy to weave the magical views of the mirror,…………………. 65 For often passed by the silent nights A funeral with feathers and lights and music went to Camelot: Or when the moon was above us, recently two young lovers came who got married……. 70 “I have had half enough of the shadows,” says the lady of Shalott. Only reapers,5 harvest early In bearded barley, Listen to a song that resonates happily………… 30 From the river, which winds clearly, To the imposing Camelot: And to the moon, the reaper is tired, piles of winch6 in the airy highlands, listening, whispering: “This is the fairy…. 35 Lady of Shalott. » On the edge, willow sail slides the heavy barges trail……………..
20 Slow horses; and unscathed The shallot3 floats in silk to Camelot: But who saw her waving her hand? Or on wing 4, she saw her standing?…………….. 25 Or is she known throughout the country, the Lady of Shalott? ….. The poem is set in England during the Middle Ages during the reign of the legendary King Arthur. The action takes place not far from the town of Camelot, the seat of Arthur`s government and residence of his famous Knights of the Round Table. And in the dark expanse of the river like a bold Seër in a trance, who sees all his own coincidence with a glassy face. 130 Did she turn to Camelot? And at the end of the day, she loosened the chain, and at the bottom she lay down; The wide stream carried him away, the Lady of Shalott……. 135 ….. Through the fields of barley and rye passes the road to Camelot, the home of King Arthur.
Parallel to the road is a river. When travelers come and go by road, they turn their gaze to an island in the middle of the river, Shalott Island. There they see a gray building with four towers that imprisons a young woman ….. Barges on horseback and small sailboats cross the island. But no one on the street or by the river ever sees the lady standing at a window. However, those who harvest the harvest hear them sing from time to time and say, “This is the fairy Lady of Shalott” (line 35)….. This lady spends her time weaving a colorful magic canvas. She heard someone say she was under a curse. It states that she should never look out the window or venture away from her residence. What will happen to her when she gives up weaving and looks at the world or joins her, she doesn`t know.
In order not to provoke fate, she continues to weave. However, a mirror in front of her allows her to see reflections from the outside, a traveling abbot, peasants, market girls dressed in red, a traveling abbot, a shepherd, a bellhop, knights ….. The Lady of Shalott has no knight to call hers.
