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!"
Edgar Allan Poe

That's a cool poem. It's probably the only one by Edgar Allan Poe that doesn't make me shiver. :P I don't particularly like his poetry. So, well, creepy or something. But this one I do like. ;D Doesn't the one about the raven send shivers up your spine? And not delightful ones, either. :P
