| [00:00.00] |
O what can ail thee knight-at-arms |
| [00:02.59] |
Alone and palely loitering? |
| [00:05.51] |
The sedge has wither'd from the Lake |
| [00:08.45] |
And no birds sing! |
| [00:10.63] |
|
| [00:11.87] |
O what can ail thee knight-at-arms |
| [00:14.00] |
So haggard and so woe-begone? |
| [00:17.11] |
The squirrel's granary is full |
| [00:19.90] |
And the harvest's done. |
| [00:22.10] |
|
| [00:23.14] |
I see a lily on thy brow |
| [00:25.44] |
With anguish moist and fever dew |
| [00:28.77] |
And on thy cheeks a fading rose |
| [00:30.92] |
Fast withereth too— |
| [00:32.83] |
|
| [00:33.84] |
I met a Lady in the Meads |
| [00:36.88] |
Full beautiful, a faery's child |
| [00:40.54] |
Her hair was long, her foot was light |
| [00:44.32] |
And her eyes were wild— |
| [00:46.68] |
|
| [00:47.37] |
I made a Garland for her head, |
| [00:50.02] |
And bracelets too, and fragrant zone: |
| [00:52.96] |
She look'd at me as she did love |
| [00:55.73] |
And made sweet moan— |
| [00:58.14] |
|
| [00:59.37] |
I set her on my pacing steed |
| [01:01.87] |
And nothing else saw all day long |
| [01:04.60] |
For sidelong would she bend and sing |
| [01:07.17] |
A faery's song— |
| [01:09.07] |
|
| [01:10.32] |
She found me roots of relish sweet |
| [01:13.32] |
And honey wild and manna dew |
| [01:15.53] |
And sure in language strange she said |
| [01:18.89] |
"I love thee true"— |
| [01:21.31] |
|
| [01:22.43] |
She took me to her elfin grot |
| [01:25.16] |
And there she wept and sigh'd full sore |
| [01:28.69] |
And there I shut her wild wild eyes |
| [01:31.57] |
With kisses four. |
| [01:33.57] |
|
| [01:34.42] |
And there she lulled me asleep |
| [01:37.06] |
And there I dream'd—Ah Woe betide! |
| [01:40.65] |
The latest dream I ever dreamt |
| [01:43.45] |
On the cold hill's side. |
| [01:46.10] |
|
| [01:47.30] |
I saw pale kings and princes too |
| [01:50.49] |
Pale warriors, death-pale were they all; |
| [01:54.56] |
They cried "La belle dame sans merci |
| [01:57.96] |
Hath thee in thrall." |
| [02:00.30] |
|
| [02:01.33] |
I saw their starv'd lips in the gloam |
| [02:04.04] |
With horrid warning gaped wide |
| [02:07.17] |
And I awoke and found me here |
| [02:10.02] |
On the cold hill's side. |
| [02:12.77] |
|
| [02:13.90] |
And this is why I sojourn here |
| [02:16.53] |
Alone and palely loitering; |
| [02:19.85] |
Though the sedge is wither'd from the Lake, |
| [02:23.54] |
And no birds sing— |
