Tyger Tyger. burning bright, |
| 03 |
|
In the forests of the night; |
| 04 |
|
What immortal hand or eye. |
| 05 |
|
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? |
| 06 |
|
In what distant deeps or skies. |
| 07 |
|
Burnt the fire of thine eyes? |
| 08 |
|
On what wings dare he aspire? |
| 09 |
|
What the hand, dare sieze the fire? |
| 10 |
|
And what shoulder, & what art, |
| 11 |
|
Could twist the sinews of thy heart? |
| 12 |
|
And when thy heart began to beat, |
| 13 |
|
What dread hand? & what dread feet? |
| 14 |
|
What the hammer? what the chain, |
| 15 |
|
In what furnace was thy brain? |
| 16 |
|
What the anvil? what dread grasp. |
| 17 |
|
Dare its deadly terrors clasp: |
| 18 |
|
When the stars threw down their spears |
| 19 |
|
And water'd heaven with their tears: |
| 20 |
|
Did he smile his work to see? |
| 21 |
|
Did he who made the Lamb make thee? |
| 22 |
|
Tyger Tyger burning bright, |
| 23 |
|
In the forests of the night; |
| 24 |
|
What immortal hand or eye, |
| 25 |
|
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? |
