A Poison Tree
words by william blake, music by David Borins
from the album "songs of sense and colour"

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.


chorus:

A poison tree, A poison Tree
thats what you get when you mess with me


And I waterd it in fears,

Night and morning with my tears:

And I sunned it with smiles,

And with soft deceitful wiles.


chorus

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 veiled the pole;

In the morning glad I see/
My foe outstretchd beneath the tree.

Chorus X2
