THE TIGER.

(By William Rlake.)
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 thine heart?
And when they heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? What the chain?
In what furnace was they brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
What the stars threw down their
spears,
And waterd 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?
