Little Tiger, burning bright <br />With a subtle Blakeish light, <br />Tell what visions have their home <br />In those eyes of flame and chrome! <br />Children vex thee - thoughtless, gay - <br />Holding when thou wouldst away: <br />What dark lore is that which thou, <br />Spitting, mixest with thy meow?<br /><br />Howard Phillips Lovecraft<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/little-tiger/
