So here I have for you a presentation of my favourite poem (or Poe’m) by Edgar Allan.</p> <p><B>Eldorado</B></p> <p>Gaily bedight,<br /> A gallant knight,<br /> In sunshine and in shadow,<br /> Had journeyed long,<br /> Singing a song,<br /> In search of Eldorado. </p> <p> But he grew old--<br /> This knight so bold--<br /> And o'er his heart a shadow<br /> Fell as he found<br /> No spot of ground<br /> That looked like Eldorado. </p> <p> And, as his strength<br /> Failed him at length,<br /> He met a pilgrim shadow--<br /> "Shadow," said he,<br /> "Where can it be--<br /> This land of Eldorado?" </p> <p> "Over the Mountains<br /> Of the Moon,<br /> Down the Valley of the Shadow,<br /> Ride, boldly ride,"<br /> The shade replied,--<br /> "If you seek for Eldorado!"<br /> <BR><br /> Bunnies lol!</p> http://www.hopeisemo.com/node/909#comment Poe Fri, 16 Jun 2006 03:59:32 -0500 Sneaky 909 at http://www.hopeisemo.com
