THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE
Brought up to Date
HALF a league, half a league,
Half a league onward—
“That is, unless some damned
Airman has blundered,
If the map isn’t right
We’ll be a funny sight.”
So as they tramped along
Officers pondered,
While, with equipment hung,
Curses on every tongue,
Forward with rifles slung,
Slouched the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
