Tick two.

is inside a tower

is looking at a tower

lives in Camelot

is under a curse

21 The green-sheathed daffodilly

Tremble in the water chilly

Why is tremble a suitable word to describe the daffodils?

22 How do the people of Camelot know the lady is in the tower?

TEST 2 READING

The Lady of Shalott Part I

On either side the river lieLong fields of barley and of rye,That clothe the wold and meet the sky;And thro’ the field the road runs by To many-tower’d Camelot;The yellow-leaved waterlilyThe green-sheathed daffodillyTremble in the water chilly Round about Shalott.

Willows whiten, aspens shiver.The sunbeam showers break and quiverIn the stream that runneth everBy the island in the river Flowing down to Camelot.Four grey walls, and four grey towersOverlook a space of flowers,And the silent isle imbowers The Lady of Shalott.

Underneath the bearded barley,The reaper, reaping late and early,Hears her ever chanting cheerly,Like an angel, singing clearly, O’er the stream of Camelot.Piling the sheaves in furrows airy,Beneath the moon, the reaper wearyListening whispers, ‘Tis the fairy, Lady of Shalott.’

The little isle is all inrail’dWith a rose-fence, and overtrail’dWith roses: by the marge unhail’dThe shallop flitteth silken sail’d, Skimming down to Camelot.A pearl garland winds her head:She leaneth on a velvet bed,Full royally apparelled, The Lady of Shalott.

Glossary• wold countryside• imbowers shelters• reaper farmer• inrail’d enclosed • overtrail’d overgrown• unhail’d unnoticed• shallop boat• apparelled clothed
