Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darken’d wholly,
Turn’d to tower’d Camelot.
For ere she reach’d upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,

Geoff helped me by being my shutter release; I was afraid I\'d electrocute myself if I tried to do it myself with my remote in the bathtub.
