William Blake - LondonWilliam Blake - London
Work rating:
Medium
I wandered 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.
