Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred.

Flash’d all their sabres bare,
Flash’d as they turn’d in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wonder’d.
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro’ the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel’d from the sabre-stroke
Shatter’d and sunder’d.
Then they rode back, but not,
Not the six hundred.

—“The Charge of the Light Brigade,”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Respuesta :

Rhythm

The first lines of "Cannon to the right of them, Cannon to the left of them, Cannon in front of them," creates a persistent rhythm/beat throughout the whole poem.

The rhythm reminds me of the sound of horses galloping.

Repetition

Tennyson's uses a lot of repetition, and it also contributes to the persistent beat of the poem.
