Figure descriptions
The corpse of a knight, identified in the poem text as Sir Tristrem, lies in a shallow
boat. His arms are folded on his chest
and he has a sword on his hip. He is dressed in full armour, but his helmet has been
lifted to expose his face. The boat features
the figurehead of a large swan. The full moon can be seen through the dark clouds.
