“Book Descriptions: A narrative poem about the Charge of the Light Brigade at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War.
Excerpt:
"[...] Yet know you, as your England knows
That you and all your men
Were soldiers to her heart’s desire,
When, in the vanish’d year,
You saw the league-long rampart-fire
Flare from Tel-el-Kebir
Thro’ darkness, and the foe was driven,
And Wolseley overthrew
Arâbi, and the stars in heaven
Paled, and the glory grew.
THE CHARGE OF THE HEAVY BRIGADE AT BALACLAVA
October 25, 1854
