Lest an evil step be taken,-
Lest the dead who is forsaken
May not be happy now.

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'

A crawling shape intrude:
A blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
