I wondered if there were any native Bulgarian speakers who could translate William Blake's 'a poison tree' for me please?

Am teaching this poem at the moment and I am struggling with understanding and young person is Bulgarian. Can get a Hungarian translation online but not sure how close this is.... sorry If that sounds an ignorant thing to say!!

Hi Op,
this took my mind of SEN matters and gave me a break from folding the laundry.

Here is my translation, I have added some words in brackets as otherwise the sentence doesn’t make sense in Bulgarian.

Възгневих се на приятеля си
Изказах яростта си и яростта ми изчезна
Възгневих се на врага си
Въздържах гнева си и той нарастна

Напоих го ( гнева) със страхове
Нощ и ден ( го обливах) със сълзи
Озарих го с усмивки
И с нежна измамна хитрост

И той растеше ден и нощ
Докато роди ябълка искряща
И врагът ми оцени сиянието и
И осъзна че е моя

Промъкна се в градината ми
Когато нощта беше обгърнала стълба
На сутринта с радост видях
Врагът ми да лежи повален под дървото
