Table of Contents

Gaily bedight,

A gallant knight,

In sunshine and in shadow,

Had journeyed long,

Singing a song,

And o'er his heart a shadow

Fell as he found

Failed him at length,

"Shadow," said he,

"Where can it be—

Of the Moon,

Down the Valley of the Shadow,

Ride, boldly ride,"

The shade replied,

"If you seek for Eldorado!"
