"The Charge of the Light Brigade"
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Forward, the Light Brigade!' Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho the soldiers knew Some one had blunder'd:
Their's not to make reply, Their's not to reason why, Their's 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 tront of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell COURSES

Rode the six hundred.
Flash'd all their sabres bare, Flash'd as they turned in air Sabring the gunners there, Charging an army while All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke Right thro' the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke
Shatter'd and sunder d.
Then they rode back, but not Not the six hundred
Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them Volley'd and thunderd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro' 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 wonder'd.
Honour the charge they made!
*Honour the Light Brigade, noble six hundred!
