This poem, alongwith The Lamb, is so famous in academics here, I had to go through it in the high school, in my graduation and again in the Post graduation.
Then I can't remember how many times I had taught it, recited it, quoted it, made refrence of... It's on my tongue.

-- some of the few lines of verse ive etched into my memory
How can the same force craft both the gentle lamb and the fierce tiger? It’s like Blake’s asking if divine creation has a shadow side.
The poem hits way harder when it’s in a song!
or maybe @plebpoet would narrate it :)
"The Tyger" not included but for all the Blake-heads out there

The symmetries of fear are larger than tigers.
This poem scares me.
One of my long-standing favorites.
