Poison Tree |
| I was angry with my friend |
| I told my wrath, my wrath did end |
| I was angry with my foe |
| I told him not, my wrath did grow |
| And I watered it with fears |
| Night and morning with my tears |
| And I sunned 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 its shine |
| And he knew that it was mine |
| Into my garden stole |
| When the night had veiled the Pole |
| He has cast me in shade |
| Night and morning have I prayed |
| Even turned their blood in me |
| Oh, those of little loyalty |
| I have watered it with fears |
| Night and morning with my tears |
| I have sunned it with smiles |
| And with soft deceitful wiles |
| With soft deceitful wiles |
| And it grew both day and night |
| Till it bore an apple bright |
| And my foe beheld its shine |
| And he knew that it was mine |
| Into my garden stole |
| When the night had veiled the Pole |
| I was angry with my friend |
| I told my wrath, my wrath did end |
| I was angry with my foe |
| I told him not, my wrath did grow |
| Into my garden he stole |
| When the night had veiled the Pole |
| In the morning, glad I see |
| My foe outstretched beneath the tree |
| My foe outstretched beneath the tree |
