CHARGE OF THE (TORCH) LIGHT BRIGADE.

Then they marched back, but not,

Not the five hundred.

Cives to right of them,

Cives to left of them,

Cives behind them,

Shouted and thundered.

Flirting with many a belle

While torch and head-gear fell,

They that had marched so well (?)

Came o'er the cobble-stones,

Played out in legs and lungs,

All that was left of them, -

Left of five hundred.
