  2.                                     ELDORADO
  3.                                by Edgar Allan Poe
  4. ELDORADO
  5.  
  6.                    Gaily bedight,
  7.                    A gallant knight,
  8.                In sunshine and in shadow,
  9.                    Had journeyed long,
  10.                    Singing a song,
  11.                In search of Eldorado.
  12.  
  13.                    But he grew old-
  14.                    This knight so bold-
  15.                And o'er his heart a shadow
  16.                    Fell as he found
  17.                    No spot of ground
  18.                That looked like Eldorado.
  19.  
  20.                    And, as his strength
  21.                    Failed him at length,
  22.                He met a pilgrim shadow-
  23.                    "Shadow," said he,
  24.                    "Where can it be-
  25.                This land of Eldorado?"
  26.  
  27.                    "Over the Mountains
  28.                    Of the Moon,
  29.                Down the Valley of the Shadow,
  30.                    Ride, boldly ride,"
  31.                    The shade replied-
  32.                "If you seek for Eldorado!"
  33.  
  34.  
  35.                          -THE END-
  36.
