Excerpt: SONGS OF INNOCENCE; INTRODUCTION -- Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me: ??Pipe a song about a Lamb!?? So I piped with merry cheer. ??Piper, pipe that song again;?? So I piped: he wept to hear. ??Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe; Sing thy songs of happy cheer!?? So I sang the same again, While he wept with joy to hear. ??Piper, sit thee down and write In a book, that all may read.?? So he vanish?d from my sight; And I pluck?d a hollow reed, And I made a rural pen, And I stain?d the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every child may joy to hear....

The Tyger 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?...
