英语自学网

　　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，　Down the valley of the shadow，　Ride， boldly ride，"　The
shade replied，——　"If you seek for Eldorado!"
