- 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
- 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?
- 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
- 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?
- Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
- In the forests of the night,
- What immortal hand or eye,
- Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
- Wm. Blake: Songs of Experience
