<P> 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 seize 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 water'd 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? </P> <P> The first and last stanzas are identical except the word "could" becomes "dare" in the second iteration . Kazin says to begin to wonder about the tiger, and its nature, can only lead to a daring to wonder about it . Blake achieves great power through the use of alliteration ("frame" and "fearful") combined with imagery (burning, fire, eyes), and he structures the poem to ring with incessant repetitive questioning, demanding of the creature, "Who made thee?" In the third stanza the focus moves from the tiger, the creation, to the creator--of whom Blake wonders "What dread hand? & what dread feet?". "The Tyger" is six stanzas in length, each stanza four lines long . Much of the poem follows the metrical pattern of its first line and can be scanned as trochaic tetrameter catalectic . A number of lines, however, such as line four in the first stanza, fall into iambic tetrameter . </P> <P> "The Tyger" lacks narrative movement . The first stanza opens the central question, "What immortal hand or eye, / Could frame thy fearful symmetry?" Here the direct address to the creature becomes most obvious, but certainly, "the Tyger" cannot provide the lyrical "I" with a satisfactory answer, so the contemplation continues . The second stanza questions "the Tyger" about where he was created; the third about how the creator formed him; the fourth about what tools were used . In the fifth stanza, Blake wonders how the creator reacted to "the Tyger", and who created the creature . Finally, the sixth restates the central question while raising the stakes; rather than merely question what / who "could" create the Tyger, the speaker wonders: who dares . </P> <P> "The Tyger" is the sister poem to "The Lamb" (from "Songs of Innocence"), a reflection of similar ideas from a different perspective (Blake's concept of "contraries"), with "The Lamb" bringing attention to innocence . "The Tyger" presents a duality between aesthetic beauty and primal ferocity, and Blake believes that to see one, the hand that created "The Lamb", one must also see the other, the hand that created "The Tyger": "Did he who made the Lamb make thee?" </P>
