Eldorado

Leitch

Gaily bedight, a gallant knight

In sunshine and in shadow

All journey 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

Over the mountains of the moon

Down the valley of the shadow

Ride boldly ride, the shade replied

If you seek for 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
