William Blake (来源:英语学习门户 http://www.EnglishCN.com)
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
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?
Tiger! Tiger! burning bright In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
