She clad herself in a russet gown,
She was no longer Lady Clare:
She went by dale, and she went by down,
With a single rose in her hair.
The lily-white doe Lord Ronald had brought
Leapt up from where she lay,
Dropt her head in the maiden's hand,
And follow'd her all the way. - Tennyson

Two studies for The Lady Clare by Waterhouse

So lovely:) Enchanting that the white doe appears in several of his paintings.
