Eldorado
by Edgar Allen Poe
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow“Shadow,” said he,
“Where can it beThis land of Eldorado?”
But he grew oldThis knight so boldAnd o’er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
“Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,”
The shade replied“If you seek for Eldorado!”
Assonance
• The repetition of vowel sounds. In “Eldorado” Edgar
Allen Poe uses assonance.
• Examples: Eldorado, shadow, old, over, boldly, no
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
The Raven
by Edgar Allen Poe
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, ‘tapping at my chamber doorOnly this, and nothing more.’
Alliteration:
While I pondered weak and weary
