Explore "William Street" by Henry Lawson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'TIS William Street, the link street, / That seems to stand alone; / 'Tis William Street, the vague street, / With terraces of stone: / That starts with clean, cool pockets, / And ancient stable ways, / And built by solid landlords / And in more solid days.
Beginning where the shadow streets / Of vacant wealth begin, / Street William runs down sadly / Across the vale of sin. / 'Tis William Street, the haggard, / Where all the streets are mean / That's trying to be honest, / That's trying to keep clean.
