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 Flash’d all their sabres bare, Rode the six hundred. Flash’d as they turn’d in air Sabring the gunners there, Forward, the Light Brigade!’ Charging an army, while Was there a man dismay’d ? All the world wonder’d: Not tho’ the soldier knew Plunged in the battery-smoke Some one had blunder’d: Right thro’ the line they broke; Their’s not to make reply, Cossack and Russian Their’s not to reason why, Reel’d from the sabre-stroke Their’s but to do and die: Shatter’d and sunder’d.

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!
