“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?
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
Could frame thy fearful
symmetry?”
William Blake, The Tyger
