I
\nHalf a league, half a league,
\nHalf a league onward,
\nAll in the valley of Death
\nRode the six hundred.
\n\u201cForward, the Light Brigade!
\nCharge for the guns!\u201d he said.
\nInto the valley of Death
\nRode the six hundred.<\/p>\n
II
\n\u201cForward, the Light Brigade!\u201d
\nWas there a man dismayed?
\nNot though the soldier knew
\nSomeone had blundered.
\nTheirs not to make reply,
\nTheirs not to reason why,
\nTheirs but to do and die.
\nInto the valley of Death
\nRode the six hundred.<\/p>\n
III
\nCannon to right of them,
\nCannon to left of them,
\nCannon in front of them
\nVolleyed and thundered;
\nStormed at with shot and shell,
\nBoldly they rode and well,
\nInto the jaws of Death,
\nInto the mouth of hell
\nRode the six hundred.<\/p>\n
IV
\nFlashed all their sabres bare,
\nFlashed as they turned in air
\nSabring the gunners there,
\nCharging an army, while
\nAll the world wondered.
\nPlunged in the battery-smoke
\nRight through the line they broke;
\nCossack and Russian
\nReeled from the sabre stroke
\nShattered and sundered.
\nThen they rode back, but not
\nNot the six hundred.<\/p>\n
V
\nCannon to right of them,
\nCannon to left of them,
\nCannon behind them
\nVolleyed and thundered;
\nStormed at with shot and shell,
\nWhile horse and hero fell.
\nThey that had fought so well
\nCame through the jaws of Death,
\nBack from the mouth of hell,
\nAll that was left of them,
\nLeft of six hundred.<\/p>\n
VI
\nWhen can their glory fade?
\nO the wild charge they made!
\nAll the world wondered.
\nHonour the charge they made!
\nHonour the Light Brigade,
\nNoble six hundred!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
