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!"
