Half. a league. half league.
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred
Forward. the Light Brigade!
Charge for the gunsr' he said;
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Forward. the Light Brigader
Was there man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Some one had Numbered, +
Theirs not to make reply;
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left Of them,
Cannon in front Of them
Volleyed and Numbered:
Stormed at with shot and shell.
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws OF death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flashed all their sabers bare,
Flashed as they turned in air,
Sabering the gunners there.
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered!
Plunged in the battery smoke,
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the saber stroke
Shattered and sundered
Then they rode back. but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
cannon behind them
Volleyed and Numbered:
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell.
They that had fought so well
Came through the jaws of death
Back from the mouth of hell,
All that was left of them
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
o. the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honor the charge they made!
Honor the Light Brigade
Noble six hundred!
Every one Is more or less familiar with
Tennysons famous poem The Charge
