Poison Tree, (Revised)

-Blake-

I was angry with my friend:

I told my wrath, my wrath did not end.

I was angry with my froe;

I told it not, my wrath did not grow.

And I water'd it in fears,

Night & 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 froe 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 froe outstretch'd beneath the tree ...
