The Lady of Shallot is a tragic ballad of a cursed woman who is trapped in a tower, weaving a web and only allowed to look upon the world through a cursed mirror. When she catches a glimpse of Sir Lancelot by the river and falls in love, she looks out the window and unlocks the curse. She dies singing a lament, as she floats down the river to Camelot, where Sir Lancelot finds her dead and says she has a lovely face.
