London

Written by William Blake and Tuli Kupferberg

Lyrics by William Blake

LYRICS
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
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
