"See the ground
No spot be found
You silly little shadow!
But ," Said I
To No Reply
My heart beats so shallow
For I looked so long
Yet To be wrong
This Place Of Eldorado
Does Not Exist
But I presist
To Find The Golden Glow
Of This Land
Where ghouls do stand
Called Eldorado
"Aye Me," I sighed
"There's no reply
And as I stay I wither
To this earth
Where creatures hither
To see what has become
Of this man
So stubborn and dumb
Contemplating And Shallow
To seek the land
Where withces stand
That ancients call Eldorado"
~End
