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 "

"If you seek for Eldorado "
