    By William Blake

    I wander thro’ each charter’d street,

    Near where the charter’d Thames does flow.

    And mark in every face I meet

    Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

    In every cry of every Man,

    In every Infants cry of fear,

    In every voice: in every ban,

    The mind-forg’d manacles I hear

    How the Chimney-sweepers cry

    Every blackning Church appalls,

    And the hapless Soldiers sigh

    Runs in blood down Palace walls

    But most thro’ midnight streets I hear

    How the youthful Harlots curse

    Blasts the new-born Infants tear

    And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse
