His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
(On burnish'd hooves his war horse trode)
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
(As he rode down to Camelot.)
From the bank and from the river
(He flash'd into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra lirra," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.)

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

Answer:

The correct answer is The mirror crack'd from side to side;

Explanation:

In Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem, the lady is a prisoner on an island near Camelot. The Island of Shalott.

She can't look directly at Camelot, or else a curse will fall on her.

That's why she does it through a mirror. As the poem progresses, the lady meets Lancelot and cannot help looking at him.

The moment of the climax in this poem is when the Lady of Shalott's mirror finally breaks, and she realizes that she is cursed.
