  A Poison Tree

  I was angry with my friend:

  I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

  I was angry with my foe:

  I told it not, my wrath did grow.

  And I water'd it in fears,

  Night and morning with my tears;

  And I sunnèd it with smiles,

  And with soft deceitful wiles.

  And it grew both day and night,

  Till it bore an apple bright;

  And my foe beheld it shine,

  And he knew that it was mine,

  And into my garden stole

  When the night had veil'd the pole:

  In the morning glad I see

  My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.
