Poison Tree

?
1st line of Stanza 1
I was angry with my friend:
1 of 16
2nd line of Stanza 1
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
2 of 16
3rd line of Stanza 1
I was angry with my foe:
3 of 16
Last line of Stanza 1
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
4 of 16
1st line of Stanza 2
And I watered it in fears,
5 of 16
2nd line of Stanza 2
Night and morning with my tears;
6 of 16
3rd line of Stanza 2
And I sunned it with smiles,
7 of 16
Last line of Stanza 2
And with soft deceitful wiles.
8 of 16
1st line of Stanza 3
And it grew both day and night,
9 of 16
2nd line of Stanza 3
Till it bore an apple bright.
10 of 16
3rd line of Stanza 3
And my foe beheld it shine.
11 of 16
Last line of Stanza 3
And he knew that it was mine,
12 of 16
1st line of Stanza 4
And into my garden stole
13 of 16
2nd line of Stanza 4
When the night had veiled the pole;
14 of 16
3rd line of Stanza 4
In the morning glad I see
15 of 16
Final line of poem
My foe outstretched beneath the tree
16 of 16
