The Charge of The Light Brigade Flashcards
Alfred Lord Tennyson
'’Half a league…’
‘Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward’
‘All in the valley…’
‘All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred’
‘Was there a man…’
‘Was there a man dismay’d ?
Not tho’ the soldier knew
Some one had blunder’d’
‘Theirs not to reply…’
‘Theirs not to reply
Theirs not to reason why
Theirs but to do and die’
‘Cannon to the right of them…’
‘Cannon to the right of them,
Cannon to the left of them,
Cannon in front of them’
‘Volley’d and thunder’d…’
‘Volley’d and thunder’d; Storm’d at with shot and shell’
‘Into the jaws of Death…’
‘Into the jaws of Death
Into the mouth of Hell’
‘Flash’d all their sabres bare…’
‘Flash’d all their sabres bare,
Flash’d as they turn’d in air’
‘Shatter’d and sunder’d…’
‘Shatter’d and sunder’d. Then they rode back, but Not the six-hundred’
‘When can their glory…’
‘When can their glory fade? O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder’d’
‘Honour the charge…’
‘Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!’
‘Forward, the Light…’
‘Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!
he said.’
