1. Eldorado By Edgar Allen Poe Presentation by: Ian Duggan & Nick Aldom

2. Gaily Bedight A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado.

3. 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

4. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- “shadow.” said he, “where can it be- This land of Eldorado”

5. “Over The Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride,” The shade replied,- “If you seek for Eldorado!”
