Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.

Notes from Wikiquote

And sometimes thro' 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 thro' 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. | Pt. II, st. 3 - 4
