London Poem

"How the chimney-sweeper's cry,
Every blackening church appalls."

This poem has a meaning for inane, because of the line, "How the chimney-sweeper's cry." This line describes how the children covered in dust and dirt are slaves, and how they need to work to survive. The children have no hope, only the suffering to survive in the dirt streets of London.

However, the line, "Every blackening church appalls," describes how the churches in London are derelict, like being abandon. This line describes hope for the slaved children, because everyone feels safe somewhere, and it is mostly in churches. If the church is abandon, no one will bother the chimney-sweeper's and they can find hope with God.

Finally, I believe this poem is a structure of survival. The reason why, is because the descriptions in the stanza's are very dark and depressing. Some stanza's have hope, but then is suppressed by the devil work. These are my feelings of the London Poem.
