"She left the web, she left the loomShe made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining.
Heavily the low skies raining
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And around about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott."
Now maybe I'm being picky...but that last line is usually interpreted as she(the Lady of Shalott) wrote her name around the prow of the boat,and I know in a later verse it is said "around the prow they read her name", but lack of punctuation means I read the line as The Lady of Shalott was writing in the vicinity of the prow :S
