[al:] |
| [00:11.65] |
I wander through each chartered street, |
| [00:16.83] |
near where the chartered Thames does flow, |
| [00:21.96] |
and mark in every face I meet |
| [00:27.61] |
marks of weakness, marks of woe |
| [00:42.86] |
in every cry of every man, |
| [00:47.71] |
in every infant's cry of fear, |
| [00:52.78] |
in every voice, in every ban, |
| [00:58.02] |
the mind-forged manacles I hear. |
| [01:23.43] |
how the chimney-sweeper's cry |
| [01:28.48] |
every blackening church appalls, |
| [01:33.67] |
and the hapless soldier's sigh |
| [01:38.46] |
runs in blood down palace walls |
| [02:03.66] |
but most, through midnight streets I hear |
| [02:08.71] |
how the youthful harlot's curse |
| [02:13.92] |
blasts the new-born infant's tear |
| [02:18.91] |
and blights with plagues the marriage hearse |
| [02:23.77] |
I wander through each chartered street, |
| [02:28.87] |
near where the chartered Thames does flow, |
| [02:33.66] |
and mark in every face I meet |
| [02:38.97] |
marks of weakness, marks of woe |
