  Eldorado

  by Edgar Allan Poe

  Gaily bedight,

  A gallant knight,

  In sunshine and in shadow,

  Had journeyed long,

  Singing a song,

  In search of Eldorado.

  But he grew old,

  This knight 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 he,

  "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!"
