"Tiger in the Night"

While I'm writing posts about Colin Blunstone songs, I figured I would finally get around to writing about something I noticed when I first listened to Collected last March.  The first few lines of "Tiger in the Night" are taken almost directly from the William Blake poem "The Tyger."

The first two lines of "Tiger in the Night":

You are the tiger burning bright
Deep in the forests of my nights

The first two lines of "The Tyger":

Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
