Running Wild - The Tyger by William Blake

Tyger,Tyger
Tyger, Tyger burning bright 
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame the fearful symmetry?
In the distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What 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?
