A close reading exercise
LondonI wander thro' each charter'd street,Near where the charter'd Thames does flow. And mark in every face I meetMarks 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 cryEvery blackning Church appalls, And the hapless Soldiers sighRuns in blood down Palace walls
But most thro' midnight streets I hearHow the youthful Harlots curseBlasts the new-born Infants tear And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse
William Wordsworth
