Tyger, Tyger, burning bright,
In the forest of the night:
what immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetrty?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnth 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? An 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 thy 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
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
