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!"
