Part of The Charge Of The Light Brigade

Half a league, half a league,

      Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

      Rode the six hundred.

"Charge," was the captain's cry;

Their's not to reason why,

Their's not to make reply,

Their's but to do and die,

Into the valley of Death

      Rode the six hundred.
