    From the morn to the evening he strays:
    He shall follow his sheep all the day
    And his tongue shall be filled with praise.

2.  Then every man of every clime, 
    That prays in his distress,
    Prays to the human form divine . . . .

3.  O what a multitude they seemd these flowers of London town
    Seated in companies they sit with radiance all their own.

4.  Can I see anothers woe,
    And not be in sorrow too.
    Can I see anothers grief
    And not seek for kind relief.

5.  Is this a holy thing to see, 
    In a rich and fruitful land,
    Babes reducd to misery, 
    Fed with cold and usurous hand?

6.  Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
    In the forests of the night;
    What immortal hand or eye,
    Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

7.  In every cry of every Man,
    In every Infants cry of fear,
    In every voice:  in every ban,
    The mind-forg'd manacles I hear . . . .

8.  I was angry with my friend;
    I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
    I was angry with my foe:
    I told it not, my wrath did grow.

9.  Nought loves another as itself
    Nor venerates another so.

10. The Human Dress, is forged Iron
    The Human Form, a fiery Forge.
    The Human Face, a Furnace seal'd
    The Human Heart, its hungry Gorge.
