Eldorado

Signed copies of the book, Whispers and Shadows, Vol I: An Exquisite Corpse, is now available at Bonnett's Bookstore in Dayton, Ohio. The store has been open since 1939. It holds many secrets. 

You can also buy it online here: http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/1484062752

And it's on Kindle. But you have to go to Dayton to get a signed copy. It's worth the drive. 

Here is the full version of the poem:

Gaily bedight,
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!"
