Its about tigers or cat in general and I know this is an excerpt from
it.
Tiger tiger burning bright
In the forest of the night
What mortal hand or eye
can frame thy fearful symmetry
Or, to be truly pedantic, here's the exact quote:
"Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"
by William Blake(1757-1827) (Songs of Experience, The Tyger)
That's only one bit of it, it goes on for a while, and if you want the
rest I'll post it to you. Thats only the first stanza, there's 5, and the
final one is similar(though not the same to the first, and could be
used just as easily, it replaces Could with Dare.)
Try and find it all, the first paragraph stands alone well, but the entire
thing is just so much more...
