- [Noble six hundred.
- Honor the Light Brigade,
- Honor the charge they made,
- All the world wondered.
- O the wild charge they made!
- When can their glory fade?
- 6.
- Left of six hundred.
- All that was left of them,
- Back from the mouth of Hell,
- Came thro' the jaws of Death
- They that had fought so well
- While horse and hero fell,
- Storm'd at with shot and shell,
- Volley'd and thunder'd;
- Cannon behind them
- Cannon to left of them,
- Cannon to right of them,
- 5.
- Not the six hundred.
- Then they rode back, but not
- Shatter'd and sunder'd.
- Reel'd from the sabre stroke
- Cossack and Russian
- Right thro' the line they broke;
- Plunged in the battery-smoke
- All the world wonder'd:
- Charging an army, while
- Sabring the gunners there,
- Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
- Flash'd all their sabres bare,
- 4.
- Rode the six hundred.
- Into the mouth of Hell
- Into the jaws of Death,
- Boldly they rode and well,
- Storm'd at with shot and shell,
- Volley'd and thunder'd;
- Cannon in front of them
- Cannon to left of them,
- Cannon to right of them,
- 3.
- Rode the six hundred.
- Into the valley of Death
- Theirs but to do and die:
- Theirs not to reason why,
- Theirs not to make reply,
- Someone had blunder'd:
- Not tho' the soldier knew
- Was there a man dismay'd?
- "Forward, the Light Brigade!"
- Rode the six hundred.
- Into the valley of Death
- "Charge for the guns!" he said:
- "Forward, the Light Brigade!
- 2.
- Rode the six hundred.
- All in the valley of Death
- Half a league onward,
- Half a league, half a league,
- 1.
