Blake's Tanger
The Tanger is one of the most well-known of the lyrics in this book. It's really about the fear, the dread of this tiger. There are heavy, four-beat lines and lots of repetition. One of the questions of the poem that comes near its end is did he who made the lamb make thee? And you can almost read that last line as a kind of threat to the father, who have failed to do the duty they really owe the child.
