Poetry


Tiger tiger burning bright
In the forests of the night
What fear you bring to the souls of men
A single glance
A game of chance
Shall condemn
To a silent fearful end
________________
Tiger tiger burning bright
In the forests of the night
What hate do you invoke
A trap, a trap! Is set for death
Waiting with the baited breath
To set and snap and choke
To pour water on a fire
The smoke shouting Liar! Liar!
Tiger tiger burning bright
In the forests of the night
What a simple wish is said
When a single tear is shed
Dawn arises, what soft light
Destroys the night
Tiger tiger burning bright
In the forests of the night
A shooting star its death a plight
Against the rage of the light
