You have to ask yourself if you think tigers can be "good" or "bad" by human standards. Probably not, since that takes thought and knowledge of right and wrong -- and since tigers are not humans, those are probably ridiculous adjectives to apply. So you are left with "powerful" and "powerless." What do you think?

To answer your first question about the poem "The world is too much with us" by William Wordsworth, you can find the speaker's perspective on whether we have lost our love of nature. It is important to read the poem itself and the commentary provided at the top of the webpage you provided (http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~wldciv/world_civ_reader/world_civ_reader_2/wordsworth.html). The commentary will provide valuable insights about the poem and its themes.
For your second question regarding William Blake's "The Tyger," you need to consider the attributes of the tiger and interpret whether the speaker sees it as powerful, good, powerless, or bad. The link you provided is broken, so it is difficult to assess the complete context of the poem. However, you should consider the characteristics generally associated with tigers and how they are portrayed in the poem. Tigers are typically seen as powerful creatures. However, it is important to read the poem and analyze the imagery and language used to gain a deeper understanding of the speaker's perspective on the tiger's nature.
Remember, close reading and analysis of the text itself, along with any provided commentary or analysis, will help you arrive at a well-supported interpretation of the poems.
