BALAKLAVA. ALEXANDER BEAUFORT MEEK. I. O THE charge at Balaklava ! O that rash and fatal charge ! Never was a fiercer, braver. Than that charge at Balaklava, On the battle's bloody marge ! All the day the Russian columns. Fortress huge, and blazing banks. Poured their dread destructive volumes On the French and English ranks, — On the gallant allied ranks ! Earth and sky seemed rent asunder By the loud, incessant thunder ! When a strange but stern command — Needless, heedless, rash command — Ca...me to Lucan's little band, — Scarce six hundred men and horses Of those vast contending forces : — " England's lost unless you save her ! Charge the pass at Balaklava!" O that rash and fatal charge. On the battle's bloody marge ! Far away the Russian eagles Soar o'er smoking hill and dell. SONGS OF THE SOUTH. 59 And their hordes, like howHng beagles, Dense and countless, 'round them yell ! Thundering cannon, deadly mortar, Sweep the field in every quarter ! Never, since the days of Jesus, Trembled so the Chersonesus !
