Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright ~ by William Blake

(Old English)

tyger, tyger burning bright

in the forests of the night

what immortal hand or eye

could frame your 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 watered 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 your fearful symmetry

~~~.
Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright ~ by William Blake

(Modern English)

tiger, tiger burning bright

in the forests of the night

what immortal hand or eye

could frame your fearful symmetry

in what distant deeps or skies

burnt the fire of your 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 your heart

and when your heart began to beat

what dread hand and what dread feet

what the hammer, what the chain

in what furnace was your brain

what the anvil, what dread grasp

dare its deadly terrors clasp

when the stars threw down their spears

and watered heaven with their tears

did he smile his work to view

did he who made the lamb make you
