London I wander thro' each charter'd street, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bgUMoUNgJQ London 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 Infants cry of fear, In every voice: in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear  How the Chimney-sweepers cry Every blackning Church appalls,  And the hapless Soldiers sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls  But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlots curse Blasts the new-born Infants tear  And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse. Charter’d (1)- the streets and the Thames are owned by the government Hapless (11)- unfortunate Harlots (14)- prostitute Blights (16)- a verb meaning to destroy

STRUCTURE NOTES There is a repeated stanza structure. Every stanza is a quatrain (it has 4 lines) There is also a repeated rhyme scheme: ABAB. 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 Infants cry of fear, In every voice: in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear  How the Chimney-sweepers cry Every blackning Church appalls,  And the hapless Soldiers sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls  But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlots curse Blasts the new-born Infants tear  And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse 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 Infants cry of fear, In every voice: in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear  How the Chimney-sweepers cry Every blackning Church appalls,  And the hapless Soldiers sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls  But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlots curse Blasts the new-born Infants tear  And blights with plagues the Marriage Focus on people suffering That’s not the only REPETITIVE THING: There is a repetition of words too! Stanza 3 the causes of the suffering The constant repetition in the structure of the poem reflects the constant repetitive suffering in London that is unescapable. Ends by going back to the people suffering

A charter gave someone control over a place. The streets around the speaker are privately owned. The poem starts with how the speaker can walk freely around London but it is a place controlled by those in power. I wander thro' each charter'd street, Near where the charter'd Thames does flow. Originally the poem said dirty but it was changed to charter’d Betweeen 1760-1820 around 6 million acres that was public land was made private. The River Thames (nature) is also controlled by humans. The irony is though that the Thames flows and cannot be controlled.

mark in every face means notice every face And mark in every face I meet Marks of weakness, marks of woe. Then mark means the signs of weakness and woe on the poor’s faces. The marks that the government left on the poor. “woe” and “weakness” are emotive words to create sympathy for the suffering the poor went through

Capitalised to mock religion Capitalised to mock religion. God made all men but these men have been mistreated by the church and government by the Poor Law Act. The repetition symbolises how there is no escape: EVERYONE is suffering but NO ONE is helping! In every cry of every Man, In every Infants cry of fear, In every voice: in every ban, Infants is also capitalised. The infants suffer too. They cry in fear of how those in power will mistreat them. Yet those in power ignore their cries.

The mind-forg'd manacles I hear Swiss Philosopher Rousseau said “man is born free but everywhere is in chains” Blake is agreeing with Rousseau: our thoughts and imagination have been created by people higher up, we don’t have our own thoughts and imagination. The mind-forg'd manacles I hear The government have controlled our thoughts. People with actual power have made individuals weak and powerless. A manacle is a chain usually put on criminals.

The image of children crying is repeated again The image of children crying is repeated again. This time it is to show you how child labour caused suffering. How the Chimney-sweepers cry Every blackning Church appalls, And the hapless Soldiers sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls Hapless means unfortunate The palaces have the blood of their soldiers on their hands. Soldiers who fought for their country were not looked after either.

The church ABUSED ITS POWER The blackning church The church is blackened metaphorically by how it didn’t help the young in London. The chimney sweepers cry makes the church black from the soot of the chimney sweeper or black because the church is not helping the child so it has to become a chimney sweeper to survive. The church ABUSED ITS POWER

Harlot= prostitute The new-born infant hears the young prostitute’s curses. It foreshadows how the young will grow up to live horrific lives because of the abuse of power of the government and church. But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlots curse Blasts the new-born Infants tear And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse Happy image of marriage is contrasted to image of death (hearse) – oxymoron. Notice the capital on Marriage because marriage is a religious thing.
