THE TYGER (from Songs Of Experience)
By William Blake
read by Samuel West
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

Am I the only one who thinks the lyrics to this would make a kick ass punk song?

@beentheredumpedthat I take it back. Found the Michael Sheen recording. I can hear the difference now. It's really close though.

Are you sure it isn't Michael Sheen reading this? I swear this sounds EXACTLY like Michael Sheen.
