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 appalls, | |
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 | |
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 |
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 mindforged manacles I hear. | |
how the chimneysweeper' s cry | |
every blackening church appalls, | |
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 newborn infant' s tear | |
and blights with plagues the marriage hearse | |
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 |
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 mindforged manacles I hear. | |
how the chimneysweeper' s cry | |
every blackening church appalls, | |
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 newborn infant' s tear | |
and blights with plagues the marriage hearse | |
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 |
