     Poem 

• 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 seize 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! burnig bright
• In the forests of the night,
• What immortal hand or eye,
• Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
