  Poem for WMM

  school

  • Alfred, Lord Tennyson

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

  Poem of the history

  • Half a league, half a league,
  • All in the valley of Death
  • Rode the six hundred.
  • Forward
  • "Forward, the Light Brigade!"
  • Someone had blunder'd:
  • Theirs not to make reply,
     Theirs not to reason why,
     Theirs but to do and die:
  • Rode the six hundred.
  • Cannon to right of them,
     Cannon to left of them,
     Cannon in front of them
  • Into the mouth of Hell
  • Rode the six hundred.
  • Flash'd all their sabres bare,
     Flash'd as they turn'd in air,
  • Cossack and Russian
  • Cannon to right of them,
     Cannon to left of them,
     Cannon behind them
  • Came thro' the jaws of Death

  • Left of six hundred.

      
  • When can their glory fade?
     O the wild charge they made!
  • Honor the charge they made,
     Honor the Light Brigade,
      Noble six hundred.

  Was just thinking about the way Virginia Woolf has Mr. Ramsay quote this poem repeatedly in To the Lighthouse, especially the line, "someone had blundered."
