El Dorado - By Edgar Allen Poe
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song
In serach of El Dorado
But he grew old-
This knight so bold-
And o'ver his heart a shadow,
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like El Dorado
And as his strength
Failed at length
He met a pilgrim shadow,
"Shadow" said he,
"Where can it be-
The land of El Dorado?"
"Over the mountains
Of the Moon
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride boldly ride,"
The shadow replied
"If you seek for El Dorado"
