Upon Westminster Bridge (Sept. 3, 1802) (William Wordsworth, 1770-1850)
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
The beauty of the morning: silent, bare,
Never did sun more beatifully steep
The river glideth at this own sweet will: |

London, MDCCCII (William Wordsworth, 1770-1850)
O friend! I know not which way I must look
Or groom! - We must run glittering like a brook
Delights us. Rapine, avarice, expense,
The homely beauty of the good old cause |

London (William Blake, 1757-1827)
I wandered through each chartered street,
In every cry of every man,
How the chimney-sweeper's cry
But most, through midnight streets I hear |
