Text marked as lyrics
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 Infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mindforg'd manacles I hear, How the chimney sweeper's cry every black'ning church appals; And the hapless soldier's sigh Runs in blood down palace walls. But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful harlot's curse Blasts the newborn Infant's tear, And blights with plagues the marriage hearse.
