Question

A POISON TREE

(from songs of Experience -1794 )

by William Blake
I was angry at a friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry at a foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water'd 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 veil'd the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.

Answer 1

The author implies that...

The author is angry about an enemy stealing his apples
His friend took apples from his yard
A foe of his broke into his house
The author shared his anger in one instance and kept his anger to himself in another.
