Eldorado
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!"
