**On what wings dare he aspire? **

**What the hand dare seize the fire? **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">And what shoulder, and what art, **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">Could twist the sinews of thy heart? **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">And when thy heart began to beat, **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">What read hand? And what dread feet? **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">In what furnace was thy brain? **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">What the anvil? What dread grasp **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">Dare its deadly terrors grasp? **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">When the stars threw down their spears, **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">And watered heaven with their tears, **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">Did he smile his work to see? **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">Did he who made the lamb make thee? **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">In the forests of the night, **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">What immortal hand or eye **

**<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; text-align: center;">Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? **

And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.
