London |
| I wander through each chartered street |
| Near where the chartered Thames does flow |
| And mark in every face I meet |
| Marks of weakness, marks of woe |
| In every cry of every man |
| In every infant’s cry of fear |
| In every voice, in every ban |
| The mind-forged manacles I hear: |
| How the chimney-sweeper's cry |
| Every blackening church appals |
| And the hapless soldier’s sigh |
| Runs in blood down palace-walls |
| But most, through midnight streets I hear |
| How the youthful harlot’s curse |
| Blasts the new-born infant’s tear |
| And blights with plagues the marriage-hearse |
