  1. William Blake Poetry Tone OR Theme Comparison OR Contrast

  2. “The Tyger” Tyger! Tyger! burning brightIn the forest of the night,What immortal hand or eyeCould frame thy fearful symmetry?In what distant deeps or skiesBurnt the fire of thine eyes?On what wings dare he aspire?What the hand dare seize the fire?

  3. 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 graspDare its deadly terrors clasp?

  4. When the stars threw down their spearsAnd watered heaven with their tears,Did he smile his work to see?Did he who made the Lamb make thee?Tyger! Tyger! burning brightIn the forests of the night,What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

  5. “The Lamb” Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee? Gave thee life, & bid thee feed, By the stream & o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing, woolly, bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice? Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?

  6. Little Lamb, I'll tell thee, Little Lamb, I'll tell thee.He is called by thy name,For He calls Himself a Lamb.He is meek, and He is mild;He became a little child.I a child, and thou a lamb,We are called by His name. Little Lamb, God bless thee! Little Lamb, God bless thee!
