William Blake (1757-1827) was an English poet who wrote this inspiring poem found in Punisher Max One Shot story line that bears the same title as the poem, Tyger! Tyger!
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright!
In the forest of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Frame Thy Fearful Symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he inspires?
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 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 forest of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Frame Thy Fearful Symmetry?
