ELDORADO
|
|
by Edgar Allan Poe
|
|
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!"
|
|
|
|
-THE END-
|
|
