"Eldorado" by Edgar Allan Poe

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
And down the valley of the shadow
Ride, boldly ride, the shade replied
If you seek for Eldorado

"Eldorado"... continued... by Rusty Reid

Brightly enlight, the wandering knight
Crossed the mountains and below
He never found that spot of ground
But he finally knew Eldorado
He never found that spot of ground
Inside is where hides Eldorado
Inside is where hides Eldorado

Ride, boldly, ride
