I

1Half a league, half a league,

2Half a league onward,

3All in the valley of Death

4   Rode the six hundred.

5“Forward, the Light Brigade!

6Charge for the guns!” he said.

7Into the valley of Death

8   Rode the six hundred.

II

9“Forward, the Light Brigade!”

10Was there a man dismayed?

11Not though the soldier knew

12   Someone had blundered.

13   Theirs not to make reply,

14   Theirs not to reason why,

15   Theirs but to do and die.

16   Into the valley of Death

17   Rode the six hundred.

III

18Cannon to right of them,

19Cannon to left of them,

20Cannon in front of them

21   Volleyed and thundered;

22Stormed at with shot and shell,

23Boldly they rode and well,

24Into the jaws of Death,

25Into the mouth of hell

26   Rode the six hundred.

IV

27Flashed all their sabres bare,

28Flashed as they turned in air

29Sabring the gunners there,

30Charging an army, while

31   All the world wondered.

32Plunged in the battery-smoke

33Right through the line they broke;

34Cossack and Russian

35Reeled from the sabre stroke

36   Shattered and sundered.

37Then they rode back, but not

38   Not the six hundred.

V

39Cannon to right of them,

40Cannon to left of them,

41Cannon behind them

42   Volleyed and thundered;

43Stormed at with shot and shell,

44While horse and hero fell.

45They that had fought so well

46Came through the jaws of Death,

47Back from the mouth of hell,

48All that was left of them,

49   Left of six hundred.

VI

50When can their glory fade?

51O the wild charge they made!

52   All the world wondered.

53Honour the charge they made!

54Honour the Light Brigade,

55   Noble six hundred!
