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 |
