The Lady of Shalott

Alfred Tennyson

Part I

On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And through the field the road runs by
To many-towered Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.

Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through 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 embowers,
The Lady of Shalott.

By the margin, willow-veiled,
Slide the heavy barges trailed
By slow horses; and unhailed
The shallop flitteth silken-sailed
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?

Only reapers, reaping early
In among the bearded barley
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly,
Down to towered Camelot:
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy.
Listening, whispers "'Tis the fairy
Lady of Shalott."

Part II

There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colors gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her is she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little over care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.

And moving through a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot;
There the river eddy whirls,
And there the surly village churls,
And the red cloaks of market girls,
Pass onward from Shalott.

Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
An abbot on an ambling pad,
Sometimes a curly shepherd lad,
Or long-haired page in crimson clad,
Goes by to towered Camelot;
And sometimes through the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two:
She hath no loyal knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot;
Or when the moon was overhead
Came two young lovers lately wed:
"I am half sick of shadows,"said
The Lady of Shalott

Part III

A bowshot from her bower eaves,
He rode between the barley sheaves,
The sun came dazzling through the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazzen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight forever kneeled
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott.

The gemmy bridle glittered free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down to Camelot;
And from his blazoned baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armor rung,
Beside remote Shalott.

All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jeweled shone the saddle leather,
The helmet and the helmet feather
Burned like one burning flame together,
As he rode down to Camelot;
As often through the purple night,
Below the starry clusters bright,
Some bearded meteor, trailing light,
Moves over still Shalott.

His broad clear brow in sunlight glowed;
On burnished hooves his war horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flowed
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flashed into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra lirra", by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
--She looked down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror cracked from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.

Part IV

In the stormy east wind strainging,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining,
Heavily the low sky raining
Over towered Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And round about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott.

And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seër in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance -
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.

Lying robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right -
The leaves upon her falling light -
Through the noises of the night
She floated down to Camelot:
And as the boathead wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.

Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darkened wholly,
Turned to towered Camelot.
For ere she reached upon the tide
The first house by the waterside,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.

Under tower and balcony,
By garden wall and gallery,
A gleaming shape she floated by,
Dead-pale between the houses high,
Silent into Camelot.
Out upon the wharfs they came,
Knight and burgher, lord and dame,
And round the prow they read her name,
The Lady of Shalott.

Who is this? and what is here?
And in the lighted palace near
Died the sound of royal cheer;
And they crossed themselves for fear,
All the knights at Camelot:
But Lancelot mused a little space;
He said, "She has a lovely face;
God in his mercy lend her grace,
The Lady of Shalott."

dziekuje ci z calego serca! to jest naprawde wspaniale! pozdrowionka :*

Dziękuję za podzielenie się wierszem, nie spodziewałam się, że go tu znajdę. Skoro już mówimy o wierszach, to czy ktoś ma może wiersz, który Ania recytowała, a może chociaż wie, kto jest autorem tego "Rozbójnika". W filmie chyba to nie jest wspomniane, a książkę czytałam dawno temu.. W ogóle dobrym pomysłem byłoby utworzenie wątku poświęconego wierszom Ani, tym które znała i lubiła. Pamiętam też że był wspomniany wiersz na temat Polski, chyba "Upadek Polski", czy ktoś może ma teksty tych wierszy? Dziękuję:)

"rozbójnik" w wersji angielskiej

The Highwayman

Alfred Noyes

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwyman came riding--
Riding--riding--
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

He'd a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,
A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.
They fitted with never a wrinkle. His boots were up to the thigh.
And he rode with a jewelled twinkle,
His pistol butt a-twinkle,
His rapier hilt a-twinkle, under the jewelled sky.

Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard,
And he tapped with his whip on the shuters, but all was locked and barred.
He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord's daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

And dark in the dark old inn-yard a stable-wicket creaked
Where Tim the ostler listened. His face was white and peaked.
His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay,
But he loved the landlord's daughter.
The landlord's red-lipped daughter.
Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard the robber say-

"One kiss, my bonny sweetheart, I'm after a prize tonight,
But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light;
Yet, if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day,
Then look for me by moonlight,
Watch for me by moonlight,
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way."

He rose upright in the stirrups. He scarce could reach her hand,
But she loosened her hair in the casement. His face burnt like a brand
As the black cascade of perfume came tumbling over his breast;
And he kissed its waves in the moonlight,
(Oh, sweet, black waves in the moonlight!)
Then he tugged at his rein in the moonliglt, and galloped away to the west.

He did not come in the dawning. He did not come at noon;
And out of the tawny sunset, before the rise of the moon,
When the road was a gypsy's ribbon, looping the purple moor,
A red-coat troop came marching--
Marching--marching--
King George's men came matching, up to the old inn-door.

They said no word to the landlord. They drank his ale instead.
But they gagged his daughter, and bound her, to the foot of her narrow bed.
Two of them knelt at her casement, with muskets at their side!
There was death at every window;
And hell at one dark window;
For Bess could see, through her casement, the road that he would ride.

They had tied her up to attention, with many a sniggering jest.
They had bound a musket beside her, with the muzzle beneath her breast!
"Now, keep good watch!" and they kissed her. She heard the doomed man say--
Look for me by moonlight;
Watch for me by moonlight;
I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way!

She twisted her hands behind her; but all the knots held good!
She writhed her hands till her fingers were wet with sweat or blood!
They stretched and strained in the darkness, and the hours crawled by like years,
Till, now, on the stroke of midnight,
Cold, on the stroke of midnight,
The tip of one finger touched it! The trigger at least was hers!

The tip of one finger touched it. She strove no more for the rest.
Up, she stood up to attention, with the muzzle beneath her breast,
She would not risk their hearing; she would not strive again;
For the road lay bare in the moonlight;
Blank and bare in the moonlight;
And the blood of her veins, in the moonlight, throbbed to her love's refrain.

Tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot! Had they heard it? The horse-hoofs ringing clear;
Tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot, in the distance? Were they deaf that they did not hear?
Down the ribbon of moonlight, over the brow of the hill,
The highwayman came riding--
Riding--riding--
The red-coats looked to their priming! She stood up, straight and still.

Tlot-tlot, in the frosty silence! Tlot-tlot, in the echoing night!
Nearer he came and nearer. Her face was like a light.
Her eyes grew wide for a moment; she drew one last deep breath,
Then her finger moved in the moonlight,
Her musket shattered the moonlight,
Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him-with her death.

He turned. He spurred to the west, he did not know who stood
Bowed, with her head o'er the musket, drenched with her own blood!
Not till the dawn he heard it, and his face grew grey to hear
How Bess, the landlord's daughter,
The landlord's black-eyed daughter,
Had watched for her love in the moonlight, and died in the darkness there.

Back, he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky,
With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high.
Blood-red were his spurs in the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat;
When they shot him down on the highway.
Down like a dog on the highway,
And he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat.

And still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees,
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
A highway man comes riding--
Riding--riding--
A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.

Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard.
And he taps with his whip on th shutters, but all is locked and barred.
He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter,
Bess, the landlord's daughter,
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair.

ja mam ten poemat po polsku

Pani z Shalott

Po zmroku rzuca snop skonana
dłoń, a żniwiarka zasłuchana
szepcze: ,,Oto zaczarowana
Pani na Shalott;

Osika drży, wierzba gnie,
Lekki wiatr nad wzgórzami tchnie,
Fala jak zawsze chyżo mknie,
Rzeką wzdłuż wyspy białej, gdzie
Szlak wiedzie w dal do Camelot.

Czterech baszt szarość murów strzeże,
Pod nim łąka w kwiatach leży,
A na samotnej wyspie, w wieży
Pani na Shalott.

Miał rycerz czoło gładkie, jasne
Czerń loków okrył hełm kaskiem.
Rumak olśniewał podków blaskiem,
Gdy jechał z pierwszym słońca brzaskiem
Drogą do zamku Camelot.

Lustro przeszyła niczym strzała
Wizja postaci lśniącej z dala.
Błysk słońca w liściach drzew ujrzała,
Zbroja wśród pól zamigotała,
Jechał przez las sir Lancelot.

Niebo bez chmur błękitem drży,
U siodła wielki klejnot lśni,
Hełm, a w nim pióro dziarsko tkwi,
Jak płomień ognia zbroja skrzy.
Rycerz mknie w stronę Camelot.

Krosno rzuciła, trud przerwała,
Z sali wybiegła wreszcie śmiała,
Kwiat nenufaru zerwać chciała,
Hełm z piórem w dali wnet ujrzała.
Spojrzała w stronę Camelot.

Dzień czy noc magii tka materię,
Radość i kolor snuje wiernie.
Klątwa jej każe trwać tam biernie
Serce przebija, szepczą, cierniem,
Gdy spojrzy, choć na Camelot.

Nie wie, w czym klątwy tkwi zła treść,
Więc nić swą równo może pleść
I życie bez trosk może wieść
Pani na Shalott.

Często zaś nocą purpurową
Wśród skupisk jasnych gwiazd nad głową
Meteor brodę ciągnie płową
Ponad uśpionym Shalott.

Lecz swym arrasem wciąż się cieszy,
Wplatać magiczne sceny spieszy,
Bo w noc samotną nieraz słyszy:
Z ognia, w żałobie idą piesi
Z muzyką hen, do Camelot.

Tafla się mieni rycerzami,
Jada samotnie lub dwójkami.
Wiernego serca brak czasami
Pani na Shalott.

Tam rzeka snuje się wirami,
Kmieć chodzi obok pól bruzdami,
Wieśniaczek płaszcze z kapturami,
Czerwienią wzgórza Camelot.

Przez cały rok w jej lustrze, na dnie,
Co świat odbija, wszystko snadnie
Cieniami się na taflę kładnie.
Czasami wzrok na trakt ten padnie,
Co wiedzie aż do Camelot.

Gdy księżyc świecił nocą błogą,
Kochanków para szła tą drogą,
,,Tych cieni oczy znieść nie mogą,
Westchnęła Pani z Shalott.

Na jego tarczy rycerz klęka
Przed dama, z krwawym krzyżem w rękach.
I wierność serca jej przysięga.
Lancelot polem jedzie stępa,
Mijając senne Shalott.

Zerwana nić jak cienki włos,
Zwierciadło pęka w odłamków stos,
,,Klątwa nade mną, woła w głos
Pani na Shalott.

Patrzy wzdłuż brzegów rzeki Pani,
Wzrok jej świat barwi nieszczęściami
Jak jasnowidza spojrzeniami.
Tak, z zasnutymi mgłą oczami,
Patrzyła w stronę Camelot.

Zeszła, do łodzi się dostała,
Co gdzieś pod wierzbą chybotała
I na jej dziobie napisała:
Pani na Shalott.

A gdy się wreszcie kończył dzień,
Zepchnęła łódź i legła weń.
Szeroki strumień poniósł hen
Panią na Shalott.

Suknia jej luźna, śnieżnobiała
Miękko wzdłuż łodzi burt leżała.
Pod liśćmi świeca zamierała
Mroczna noc z wolna zapadała
I ogarniała Camelot.

Nuty melodii smutnej trwały
Coraz to cichsze, zamierały.
Krwi puls i skarga ustawały,
Oczy przymknięte pociemniały,
Zwrócone wciąż ku Camelot.

Bo nim do miasta łódź dotarła
Na fali, co z przypływem parła.
Śpiewając swoją pieśń, umarła
Pani na Shalott.

Burzliwie wioną wschodni wiatr,
W wichrze las żółty nagle zbladł,
Szeroki strumień w brzegach słabł,
Ciężko z chmur niskich deszcz się kładł
Na wieże Camelot.

Popod wieżami, balkonami
Ogrodów murem, galeriami
Blada jak śmierć szła w dół z falami.
Cicha łódź mknęła pod domami
Aż do samego Camelot.

Dziób łodzi drogę znalazł już
Obok pól i wierzbowych wzgórz.
Ostatnią pieśń słyszano tuż
Pani na Shalott.

Przy łodzi wnet na brzegu stali
Rycerze, damy, ludzie mali,
Na dziobie imię odczytali:
Pani na Shalott.

Któż to? Po cóż ją tu przysłali?
I w pełnej świec zamkowej sali
Umilkły dźwięki dworskich gali.
I wnet się z lękiem pożegnali
Wszyscy rycerze Camelot.

Lancelot dumał: Być nie może
Piękniejszej twarzy na tym dworze.
Zmiłuj się w swej litości, Boże,
Nad Panią z Shalott.
