Near where the chartered Thames does flow,
A 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.

Somerfildo, segue uma explicação das palavras difíceis:
woe - aflição, agonia, angústia, dor
manacles - algemas
to appal - horrorizar
hapless - sem sorte, desafortunado
harlot - prostituta
to blast - explodir, pode ser semelhante a blight
to blight - atacar, destruir
plague - praga
hearse - carro fúnebre
Ah, chartered é algo que pertence a alguém, como um direito cedido de uso (mais ou menos isso)
