Edgar Allan Poe - Eldorado 汉译

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!”
