surya raman - eldorado

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! '
