For Sara!
Eldorado
By: Edgar Allen Poe
Gayly bedight, a
A gallant knight, a
In sunshine and in shadow, b
Had journeyed long, c
Singing a song, c
In search of Eldorado. b
But he grew old, d
This knight so bold, d
And o'er his heart a shadow b
Fell as he found e
No spot of ground e
That looked like Eldorado. b
And, as his strength f
Failed him at length, f
He met a pilgrim shadow: b
``Shadow,'' says he, g
``Where can it be, g
This land of Eldorado?'' h
Over the Mountains i
Of the Moon, i
Down the Valley of the Shadow, b
Ride, boldly ride," j
The shade replied, j
“If you seek for Eldorado!” b
