More Poems!

hello all. for those who turned up last tues, i hope the lesson was useful to you and that you've understood everything ive said.
if you have any queries, pass a list around to make an appointment with me.
THUS is strictly out as i will not be around. anything else should be pretty ok. and try not to have weekends for consultation ok?

i was surfing online for poems and i think The Tyger by William Blake is pretty good. try to understand this. it is for extra reading.

THE TYGER (from Songs Of Experience)
By William Blake


Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
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 sieze the fire?
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 grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

1794
