Alliteration

__Tyger, tyger__ burning bright, In the forest of the night; What immortal hand or eye Could name thy fearful symmetry?
 * The Tyger **

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 the art Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat What dread and? & what dread feet?at 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? // By William Blake 1757-1827 //
