In "A Poison Tree," what is the symbol of the speaker's anger?

a. the water

b. the tree

c. tears

d. a vial of poison

This is the poem:

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 waterd it in fears,

Night & 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 veild the pole;

In the morning glad I see;

My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

    The answer is letter C. His tears were a symbolic representation of anger. It was an expression that he incorporated in the poem to portray his wrath towards his foe. That he was toiling hard to keep his anger within himself.
