I was angry with my friend;

I was angry with my foe

And I watered it in fears,

And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night,

Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it�s shine
And he knew that it was mine.

Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
