William Blake -Tyger Tyger burning bright

 

Tyger Tyger burning bright
 In the forests of the night
 What immortal hand or eye
 Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

 
 In what distant deeps or skies
 Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
 On what wings dare he aspire?
 What the hand dare sieze the fire?

 
 And what shoulder & what art
 Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
 And when thy heart began to beat
 What dread hand? & what dread feet?

 
What the hammer? what the chain,
 In what furnace was thy brain?
 What the anvil? what dread grasp
 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?

 
 Tyger Tyger burning bright
 In the forests of the night
 What immortal hand or eye
 Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
