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 water'd it in fears, 
        Night & 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 veil'd the pole: 
        In the morning glad I see 
        My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.
