    East London
    by Matthew Arnold


    'Twas August, and the fierce sun overhead
    Smote on the squalid streets of Bethnal Green,
    And the pale weaver, through his windows seen
    In Spitalfields, looked thrice dispirited.
    I met a preacher there I knew, and said:
    "Ill and o'erworked, how fare you in this scene?"—
    "Bravely!" said he; "for I of late have been
    Much cheered with thoughts of Christ, the living bread."
    O human soul! as long as thou canst so
    Set up a mark of everlasting light,
    Above the howling senses' ebb and flow,
    To cheer thee, and to right thee if thou roam—
    Not with lost toil thou labourest through the night!
    Thou mak'st the heaven thou hop'st indeed thy home.
    اللھم صلی علٰی محمد وعلٰی آل محمد کما صلیت علٰی ابراھیم وعلٰی آل ابراھیم انک حمید مجید۔
    اللھم بارک علٰی محمد وعلٰی آل محمد کما بارکت علٰی ابراھیم وعلٰی آل ابراھیم انک حمید مجید۔
