| TIGER, tiger, burning bright | |||||||||
| In the forests of the night, | |||||||||
| What immortal hand or eye | |||||||||
| Could frame thy fearful symmetry? | |||||||||
| In what distant deeps or skies | 5 | ||||||||
| Burnt the fire of thine eyes? | |||||||||
| On what wings dare he aspire? | |||||||||
| What the hand dare seize the fire? | |||||||||
| And what shoulder and what art | |||||||||
| Could twist the sinews of thy heart? | 10 | ||||||||
| And when thy heart began to beat, | |||||||||
| What dread hand and what dread feet? | |||||||||
| What the hammer? what the chain? | |||||||||
| In what furnace was thy brain? | |||||||||
| What the anvil? What dread grasp | 15 | ||||||||
| Dare its deadly terrors clasp? | |||||||||
| When the stars threw down their spears, | |||||||||
| And water'd heaven with their tears, | |||||||||
| Did He smile His work to see? | |||||||||
| Did He who made the lamb make thee? | 20 | ||||||||
| Tiger, tiger, burning bright | |||||||||
| In the forests of the night, | |||||||||
| What immortal hand or eye | |||||||||
| Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? | William Blake. 1757–1827 |
