The Tiger
By William Blake
Tiger, Tiger, burning bright,
in the forest 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?and 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 watered heaven with their tears;
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, Tiger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame fearful symmetry?
