Inspired by Eldorado written by Edgar Allan Poe located in A Children’s Book of Verse, Illustrated by Eric Kincaid, Poems selected by Marjorie Rogers. (Brimax Books)
In a tournament of end a knight of age and youth gone had recourse not but to reaper
Fight after fight he parleyed alone thirst of thirst to battle run through as fever of blood
Thrust and challenge he grew as young as a shadow cover his face long
His wits agile flex his opponents had no chance for experience aided him quick
Laughter wild with lust for battle roared through his chest for youth again ruled as his sword devoured all within his reach
Challenges rang the world wide for skeptics denied this as a sure jest that old could defeat youth of search
They came came and again the shadow grew in Valley of the Shadows until shame twisted far and wide they quit
