Lady of Shalott lover letters to Lancelot

We have been revising similes, metaphors and personification and as part of our Lady of Shalott topic we wrote love letters in role as the lead protagonist to her object of affection, Sir Lancelot. Here are a small selection:

Dear Sir Lancelot,

Thou does not know what my real name is, but others refer to me as The Lady of Shallott. I’ am writing to thee, to inform thou that I am thine truly.

I am writing to thee from the Tower of doom and curses where the four wretched great walls separate our love. Weaving my web, I look through the mirror. I see your jade green eyes; they sparkle like a lake at night. Your coal black hair waving in the wind like a surf meeting a shore. 

When I look at thee, I see a handsome hero, full of beauty and bravery. I feel in a daze and my heart jumps when I see you. The sun dances when you ride past on your stallion. I had to look out of the window; I had to escape; I had to meet you 

The curse is upon me! For these are my last words to you dear Sir Lancelot. I… love… you. I will sail away among the frogs and lily-pads. My end will be very soon. 

Yours truly  

The Lady of Shalott

Thursday 19^th November

Dear Sir Lancelot,

Thou is writing to thee to say my true feelings. Thou name is unknown but some call me the Lady of Shalott. My heart shatters whenever thee is not with thou and my heart beats with love for thee. This is the last time thou will send thee a letter because I’ll be ascending to a different place.

Thou is writing from my lonely, abandoned tower. I have seen you riding past on your noble stallion who is as tall as a castle. I have loved thee ever since thou saw you on your way to Camelot. I have waited as long as time itself to see someone as sparkly as the brightest star. I had to see you in my secret-revealing mirror (which allows me to see the outside world because I can’t look out of the window because of my curse). I had to look out of the window; the wind whispered my name telling me to look down… and I did!

I would like to thank thee for releasing me from this horrible spell and I will see you again... I hope. I will miss you dearly and hope you will miss me like I will forever you. My last light is gone and I’m going to the land of angels. Goodbye my sweet heart.

Yours faithfully

The Lady of Shalott

Friday 20^th November

Dear Sir Lancelot,

My real name cannot be told, but they call thou the Lady of Shalott. Thou is writing to thee to inform you that when you pass my tower my heart dances with love. It was love at first sight and I hope you feel the same. It’s the last time thou will send thee a letter for I shall be leaving earth to the white world.

Thou is writing from my lonely and desolate tower; no one is around. This tower is a prison tome, the tower is as dark as the night sly without the bright and glistening stars. I’ve been here for many years, trapped against my will. Now it’s too late; a black hearted with has put a curse on me. I’m dying by the minute. From my mirror I see your angelic face.

Thou first saw your beautiful angel face. Your eyes are as green as emeralds glistening in the sun. Thou also gazed upon your long black curls that were windswept while riding your horse. My head shook with love the second my eyes met yours.

Soon I shall leave and never return. Thou thanks thee for letting thou free. Thou shall always love you. I will soon fade away with many memories of you and your angel face. My wishes shall soon come true. 

Yours always,

                The Lady of Shalott

Thursday 19^th November 

Dear Sir Lancelot,

Thou name is an ancient mystery but many title me The Lady of Shalott. I am telling thee that thou heart is burning with an everlasting love for thee like two birds of a feather together for ever. This is the first and last message thou will ever send to thee but thou heart will always cry to receive thine love.

Thou hath a curse which affects thou love for thee. The curse’s power is as cruel as a demon eating my soul. Thou mirror showed me thine delightful heart-warming face. However thou had to see it for thou self. Now this dreadful curse is upon me. This life threatening curse has ridden to my soul and taken over my time.

When thee was in my mirror it called thou to see your face. Your horse was an angel with you riding on top. Your armour shouted at me to look at thee. Thou ran three steps across the floor as fast as a cheetah catching it’s pray; I am the cheetah trying to get your soul. Your helmet covered your coal black hair which danced as you rode and your heaven like face was a song in perfect harmony. Your silver armour sung on your skin as you rode and thou will never forget your heavenly face.

Thou now must bid farewell; thou wishes you will meet me a day soon. The walls of rock bullied me all my life until thee came into it, but thou will, thou will come and find thee, even if it’s not even here…

Yours forever

 The Lady of Shalott
