Sexta de William Blake (1757-1827)

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 deceifull wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore and apple bright.
And y foe behed it shine
And e knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole,
When the night had veil'd the pole;
In the morning gladI see
My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.
