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 |
| I watered it in 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 it shine |
| And he knew that it was mine |
| And into my garden stole |
| When the night had veiled the pole |
| In the morning glad I see |
| My foe outstretched beneath the tree |
