The Tiger----William Blake

Tiger,tiger burning bright
In the forest of the night
What immortl hand or eye
Could frame the 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 the 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 starts threw down their spears,
And water'd 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 sy mmetry

Apesar de achar a poesia de W.Blake um tanto ou quanto «pesada»,gosto muito deste poema.
