Eldorado
by Edgar Allen Poe

      Gaily bedight,
      A galliant knight,
 In sunshine and in shadow,
      Had journeyed long,
      Singing a song,
 In search of Eldorado.

      But he grew old-
      This night so bold-
 And o'er his heart a shadow
      Fell as he found
      No spot of ground
 That looked like Eldorado.

      And, as his strength
      Failed him at length,
 He met a pilgrim shadow
      "Shadow," said ge,
      "Where can it be-
 This land of Eldorado?"

      "Over the Mountains
      Of the Moon,
 Down the Valley of the Shadow,
      Ride, boldly ride,"
      The shade replied,-
 "If you seek for Eldorado."
