El Dorado
"There once was a knight....." 
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 !"
