Epilogue

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look'd down to Camelot.

Lily Fay left her room at Nolava High. She looks back once at Lance's red hair and Jennifer's burnished blonde glinting together, looks back at Talotsa Tower one last time, and then Tolemac Tower, and then she left.

Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.

Lily Fay's locket broke. It cracked from side to side. Inside is the picture of Lance. She cried.

In the stormy east-wind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining.
Heavily the low sky raining
Over tower'd Camelot;

There was a storm in the east the day Lily Fay left. The water in the drains gushed, the marshes waning, and the sky raining heavily, towering over Nolava High.

Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And around about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott.

So Lily Fay hailed a cab and left for home. In the cab she wrote her memoirs about Lance.

And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance --
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.

She looked out through the streaming windows of the cab, and with a teary countenance, she looked back at Nolava High.

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.

And at the end of the day, Lily Fay got out of the cab and went home, far away from Nolava High.

Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right --
The leaves upon her falling light --
Thro' the noises of the night,
She floated down to Camelot:

Lily Fay was wearing a white raincoat that loosely flew to left and right. The leaves fall upon the sun's falling light, through the noises of the twilight, she walked down to her house.

And as the boat-head wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.

And as she wound along the road, among the willowy hills and fields, Lily Fay sang her last song, the cheer of Talotsa Tower.

Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darkened wholly,
Turn'd to tower'd Camelot.

Then Lily Fay switched to a carol, chanting loudly and lowly and mournfully, until she fell asleep in her bed, dreaming of Tolemac Tower.

For ere she reach'd upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.

For Lily Fay had reached her house, the first house by the water-side, and singing in her song she fell asleep.

Under tower and balcony,
By garden-wall and gallery,
A gleaming shape she floated by,
Dead-pale between the houses high,
Silent into Camelot.

Lily Fay had reached home silently at night, back to her bungalow. With a balcony, a garden, and a gallery.

Out upon the wharfs they came,
Knight and Burgher, Lord and Dame,
And around the prow they read her name,
The Lady of Shalott.

Her parents came out to meet her. Mr and Mrs. Morgan reprimanded Lily Fay sharply, forbidding her to read anymore romance novels, like Avalon High.

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;

Back at Nolava High, however, when Marco had regained consciousness, everyone stopped their cheering of celebrating William's safety and all the students of Nolava High crossed themselves for fear that Marco will do something crazy to them.

29. But Lancelot mused a little space
He said, "She has a lovely face;
God in his mercy lend her grace,
The Lady of Shalott."

But Lance just mused a little space and said that Lily Fay has a lovely face, and he prayed to God to forgave her, the poor Lady of Shalott.
