Introduction and Excerpt
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
rode the six hundred.

Charge for the guns!' he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
'Forward, the Light Brigade!
Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.'

Theirs but to do and die:
