the poem doesn't exactly say who cursed the lady of shalott but it does say:
'She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.'
so basically i think that some whispers said it to her either in her head or whatever but it was whispers

In the poem "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the curse fell upon her because she looked directly at Sir Lancelot, whose beauty and presence she found irresistible. This caused her to leave her weaving and look out of her tower window, thus breaking the spell that had kept her isolated from the outside world.

What time of day did The Lady of Shalott reach Camelot?
After she looked directly through the window and the curse had fallen on her, the Lady of Shalott in the island came down to the river and lay down on the boat in her trance at the closing of the day. She floated down to Camelot on her final journey through the noises of the night, leaves lightly falling upon her all the way. When the dead and still Lady of Shalott reached and floated by under the tower and balcony and between the high houses of Camelot, the sound of royal midnight revelry died in the nearby lighted palace, and seeing the drifting body, they all crossed themselves for fear. Therefore it can be logically assumed that it was during the midnight that the gone Lady of Shalott reached Camelot.
