Little Tiger
written by Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Paraphrase of William Blake's The Tyger. Link to further information




Little Tiger, burning bright
With a subtle Blakeish light,
Tell what visions have their home
In those eyes of flame and chrome!
Children vex thee — thoughtless, gay —
Holding when thou wouldst away:
What dark lore is that which thou,
Spitting, mixest with thy meow?
