Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
What the anvil? what dread grasp.
Did he smile his work to see?
What the hammer? what the chain,
What immortal hand or eye,
In what furnace was thy brain?
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
When the stars threw down their spears
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
And what shoulder, & what art,
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
And water'd heaven with their tears:
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
In the forests of the night;
And when thy heart began to beat.
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
In the forests of the night:
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
What immortal hand or eye,
On what wings dare he aspire?
