“

'Forward, the Light Brigade!'

Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldiers knew

Some one had blunder'd:

Their's not to make reply,
Their's not to reason why,
Their's but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

”

— From "The Charge of the Light Brigade" by Alfred Lord Tennyson, first published this year
