| London 1 I wander thro' each charter'd street, 2 Near where the charter'd Thames does flow, 3 And mark in every face I meet 4 Marks of weakness, marks of woe. 5 In every cry of every Man, 6 In every Infant's cry of fear, 7 In every voice, in every ban, 8 The mind-forg'd manacles I hear. 9 How the Chimney-sweeper's cry 10 Every black'ning Church appalls; 11 And the hapless Soldier's sigh 12 Runs in blood down Palace walls. 13 But most thro' midnight streets I hear 14 How the youthful Harlot's curse 15 Blasts the new born Infant's tear, 16 And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse. |
