William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the best poets of romantic period in English poetry.Although Blake was considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, he is held in high regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work
William Blake
The
Tyger
Tyger Tyger! 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 hands dare sieze
the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of
thy heart?
And when thy heart began
to beat,
What dread hand? &
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 thy fearful
symmetry?
