Unnamed

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 watered 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 the garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

About this poem:
Another poem I grew up enjoying, I had a lot of foes...friends who were what I would call, part time friends who would pick on me when their cool friends were around. This poem made me stop hating them so much lol

Afraid unlike Gashly, never heard of this poet, and will enjoy finding some more of their work.
Shame I didn't have it to hand when I was at High School..
