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 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?
When the stars 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 symmetry?
Tigru, tigru care arzi
In ai noptii codri-nalti
Cine-a pus a lu vecie
In temuta-ti simetrie?
Pe ce pisc, pe care vai
Arse foc din ochii tai?
Focul, spre ce culme duce?
E vreo mana sa-l apuce?
Inima, puteri de pesteri
Ti-au durat-o? Sau ce mesteri?
Bate numa-si indata
Totu-i fuga-nfricosata
Lant a fost, ciocan, ilau
De-a croit creierul tau?
Cine-a strans, cine-ndrazneste
Spaima ucigasa-n cleste?
Stelele cu lanci arunca
Sau e-n lacrimi bolta-adanca?
Cel ce te-a creat, la fel
A suras creand pe miel?
Tigru, Tigru care arzi
In ai noptii codri-nalti,
Cine-a sagetat vecie
In temuta-ti simetrie?
