Eldorado

Eldorado by Edgar Allan Poe 

Story copied from the Wikisource.

Warning: This is a Poe's Poetry.

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!"
