Tyger, tyger wrote a poet
in the shadows, thought he saw it
if it drew near you’d never know it
barely hear the grass around it
Tyger, tiger fearful creature
we cringe in fear at your raw nature
barely moving silent mover
glorious masterpiece of nature
Tyger, tiger do you ever
know how much fear in us you render
calm and patient stand you there
panicked, scared, we favour prayer.
