ELDORADO. |

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!`
