It's from a poem in William Blake's "Songs of Innocence And
Experience" called (I think) something like "Tiger, Tiger:"

      Tiger, Tiger burning bright,
      In the forests of the night;
      What immortal hand and eye
      Dared frame Thy fearful symmetry?
                 .
                 .
                 .
 
is about all I recall of the poem at the present moment. I can't
guarantee the accuracy of what I've quoted, either. You'll find
it in almost any anthology of Romantic poetry (try Norton's Anthology
of English Lit. at the library), and certainly in any Blake
collection.
