Blake, William: A Poison Tree
A Poison Tree (English)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 sunned it with 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 had veil'd the pole: In the morning, glad, I see My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.
