Eldorado
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!'

"Eldorado" is a narrative poem because it contains more than one character (i.e. the narrator, the knight, and the pilgrim shadow), it is divided into stanzas and has a setting, conflict, climax, and conclusion
