The Tyger from songs 
of experience
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 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?
Estructure and symbols 
Symbols: 
- The symbol of the Tyger is one of the two central mysteries of the poem (the 
other being the Tyger’s creator). Tyger could be inspiration, the divine, 
artistic creation, history, the sublime, or vision itself. 
- Wings are what the creator uses to "aspire" to the creation of the Tyger. 
Essentially, they are the power or inspiration that allows the creator to 
"dare" go about the task of creating the Tyger. 
- Tools make up an extended metaphor of the creator and his creation of the 
Tyger. A blacksmith uses these tools to make objects out of super-hot metal. 
The word "forge" – to create or form – is a smith term as well as another 
name for a smith’s furnace.
- The Word lamb refers to Jesus christ´s final sacrifice. 
- The fire serves multiple purposes as an extended metaphor. First, it’s 
often associated with the Tyger, which contributes to the Tyger’s 
ferocity and sublimity. Fire is also a source of energy, and since the 
Tyger seems to be filled with fire, then he must also be filled with 
energy. 
Metter and form: 
it's written in six quatrains of rhyming couplets with a pulsing, steady, 
mostly-trochaic rhythm. A quatrain is a stanza with four lines. Rhyming 
couplets are pairs of lines, the last words of which rhyme, two lines 
make a couplet, and two couplets make a quatrain or stanza. Lastly, six 
stanzas make a poem.
Tyger Tyger, burning bright, 
In the forests of the night 
This stanza means that the tyger is very powerful by comparing it with 
fire and the unknown
What immortal hand or eye, 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? 
Here the author leaves us the question of who made the tyger, it could 
be God or Satan both having similar power to mold the figure of such a 
creature
In what distant deeps or skies. 
Burnt the fire of thine eyes? 
we can see the contrast between heaven and hell with the words skies 
and deeps , making the tiger a contrasting creature that has the fire of 
hell and stars in his eyes.
On what wings dare he aspire? 
What the hand, dare seize the fire? 
Blake says that this creaure is inspired in one of the sky as theese are 
the closest to God as the tiger is such a magestic creature that it was 
forged in fire and he, the great one was the only one capable of 
creating it
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? 
There is only one powerful and craftfull being that can make that 
perfect animal
What the hammer? what the chain, 
In what furnace was thy brain? 
What the anvil? what dread grasp, 
Dare its deadly terrors clasp! 
The autor is wondering what kind of tool did he use to forge the tyger 
in fire and how did the maker gathered the enough courage to grasp 
the tyger
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? 
Was his creator pleased with his new creature maybe it could be God 
the one who made the tiger or maybe not.
