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 want to read it in fears,

Night and morning with my tears;

And I Sunned with it my 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 and veiled the pole;

In the morning glad I see,

My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
