Tales Of Brave Ulysses

East of the Sun, West of the Moon

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of El Dorado.

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 El Dorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow—“Shadow,” said he,
“Where can it be—This land of El Dorado?”

“Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,”
The shade replied—“If you seek for El Dorado.”

Edgar Allan Poe, 1809-1849
