Lana Del Rey has shared new images from V Magazine on both of her Instagram accounts (LDR and Honeymoon) accompanying them with some beautiful verses from a poem entitled “The Lady of Shalott.”
This piece of poetry is from 1842 and was written by Lord Alfred Tennyson. Read below the parts Lana has shared.
Only reapers, reaping early
In among the bearded barley,
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly, Down to tower’d Camelot:
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
Listening, whispers “ ’Tis the fairy Lady of Shalott.”There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours 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.
