老虎，老虎，你炽烈地发光，

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,

照得夜晚的森林灿烂辉煌。

In the forests of the night;

是什么样不朽的手或眼睛

What immortal hand or eye,

造就你一身惊人的匀称 ?

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

在什么样遥远的海底或天边，

In what distant deeps or skies.

燃烧起你眼睛中的火焰 ?

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

凭借什么样的翅膀敢于凌空 ?

On what wings dare he aspire?

什么样的手竟然敢携取这个火种 ?

What the hand, dare seize the fire?

什么样的技巧，什么样的肩肘，

And what shoulder, & what art,

竟能拧成你心胸的肌肉 ?

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

而当你的心开始蹦跳，

And when thy heart began to beat,

什么样惊人的手、惊人的脚 ?

What dread hand? & what dread feet?

什么样的铁锤 ? 什么样的铁链？

What the hammer? what the chain,

什么样的熔炉将你的头脑熔炼？

In what furnace was thy brain?

什么样的铁砧 ? 什么样惊人的握力，

What the anvil? what dread grasp,

竟敢死死地抓住这些可怕的东西？

Dare its deadly terrors clasp!

当星星射下它们的万道光辉，

When the stars threw down their spears

又在天空上洒遍了点点珠泪，

And water'd heaven with their tears:

看见他的杰作他可曾微笑？

Did he smile his work to see?

不就是他造了你，一如他曾造过羊羔？

Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

老虎，老虎，你炽烈地发光，

Tyger Tyger burning bright,

照得夜晚的森林灿烂辉煌：

In the forests of the night:

是什么样的不朽的手或眼睛

What immortal hand or eye,

能把你一身惊人的匀称造就？

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
