The poem is about how anger and revenge can grow over time like a poisonous tree. The speaker describes watering and nurturing his anger toward a foe by keeping it inside instead of expressing it. This causes the anger to grow larger, represented by a bright apple on a tree. When the foe sees the apple, he recognizes it comes from the speaker's anger. The foe then eats the poisonous apple and is found dead under the tree, murdered by the speaker's vengeance that grew unchecked over time.

Essay writing
While both poems deal with speakers who are angry, they do not react in exactly the same way. In "Anger lay by me", the speaker feels anger standing by him all day and night until he surrenders to it completely. However, in "A poison tree", the speaker takes revenge on his foe by letting them eat a poisoned apple, rather than expressing his feelings. Overall, the poems have anger as a theme but portray different reactions - surrender in one and revenge in the other.

By the third night, after again waking from these dreams, the speaker weeps like a child, overcome with strange sufferings. While the dreams seem fitting punishment for those deeply stained by sin, the speaker asks why these pains must fall upon him.
