On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire?</p> <p>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?</p> <p>What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp!</p> <p>When the stars threw down their spears And water&rsquo;d heaven with their tears: Did smile his work to see? Did he smile his work to see?</p> <p>Tyger Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?</p>
