Read the poem. A Poison Tree by William Blake 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 my garden stole When the night had veiled the pole; In the morning, glad, I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree. Question 1 Part A What can be inferred about the cause of the speaker's wrath? He lacks good communication skills. He feels distraught over a childhood disagreement. He is jealous over his foe's accomplishments. He is angry over an unresolved argument. Question 2 Part B Which lines from the poem best support the answer in Part A? "And I watered it in fears / Night and morning with my tears," "And into my garden stole / When the night had veiled the pole;" "I was angry with my foe: / I told it not, my wrath did grow." "And I sunned it with smiles / And with soft deceitful wiles."
