Tiger Poems

A tiger...
Jumps a 20 foot moat,
And scales an 18 foot fence.
Just to attack,

A Dying Tiger—moaned for Drink—
I hunted all the Sand—

As the Starved Maelstrom laps the Navies
As the Vulture teased
...

I've told you many a tale, my child, of the
old heroic days
Of Indian wars and massacre, of villages ablaze
...

I

BENEATH the concave of an April sky,
When all the fields with freshest green were dight,
Appeared, in presence of the spiritual eye
...

THAT way look, my Infant, lo!
What a pretty baby-show!
See the kitten on the wall,
Sporting with the leaves that fall,
Withered leaves---one---two---and three---
From the lofty elder-tree!
...

In a dim corner of my room for longer than
my fancy thinks
A beautiful and silent Sphinx has watched me
through the shifting gloom.

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd Phoenix in her blood;
...

Devouring Time blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood,
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-lived phoenix, in her blood,
...

Round about the couldron go:
In the poisones entrails throw.
Toad,that under cold stone
...

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd Phoenix in her blood;

The Shearers squint along the pens, they squint along the ‘shoots;’
The shearers squint along the board to catch the Boss’s boots;

Into the city of Kambalu,
By the road that leadeth to Ispahan,
At the head of his dusty caravan,
...

Baron Castine of St. Castine
Has left his château in the Pyrenees,
And sailed across the western seas.

I, who erewhile the happy Garden sung
By one man's disobedience lost, now sing
Recovered Paradise to all mankind,
By one man's firm obedience fully tried
...

O, for that warning voice, which he, who saw
The Apocalypse, heard cry in Heaven aloud,
Then when the Dragon, put to second rout,
Came furious down to be revenged on men,
...

Descend from Heaven, Urania, by that name

Following, above the Olympian hill I soar,
Above the flight of Pegasean wing!

By one man's disobedience lost, now sing
...

Before those cruel twins whom at one birth
Incestuous Change bore to her father Time,
Error and Truth, had hunted from the earth
All those bright natures which adorned its prime,

I.
Dares the lama, most fleet of the sons of the wind,
The lion to rouse from his skull-covered lair?
...

Tiger, tiger, prowling fierce and silent

There is this tiger inside of you that has risen from

The things that you have been through in your life,

The Indian Princess walks her tiger
Around the opulent palace grounds
Her strong tiger always serving and obeying her
Every utterance and command she does vocalize
...

the eye of the tiger is,
the eye of a vengeance
the eye of the tiger is,
the eye of a clash tiger
