A Poison Tree

by William Blake

请跟英语兔我一起读:

I was angry with my friend;

我对朋友生怨,

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

倾诉之间, 怒气消散;

I was angry with my foe:

我对敌人生怨,

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

闷在胸间, 任其蔓延.

And I waterd it in fears,

惶恐之中将其浇灌,

Night & morning with my tears:

从早到晚, 用我的眼泪;

And I sunned it with smiles,

用我的笑脸,

And with soft deceitful wiles.

温柔欺骗使其灿烂.

And it grew both day and night,

它日夜攀援,

Till it bore an apple bright.

直至结出鲜果闪闪;

And my foe beheld it shine,

敌人开始对其垂涎,

And he knew that it was mine.

其主是谁胸中了然.

And into my garden stole.

夜色遮掩,

When the night had veiled the pole;

溜入我园.

In the morning glad I see,

清晨见状开颜:

My foe outstretchd beneath the tree.

敌人树下四脚朝天.
