In "A Poison Tree," this line literally means that the enemy snuck into the speaker's garden. The word "stole," for example, means to sneak or creep into a place. However, there is also a deeper meaning here: by using the word "stole," a word suggestive of stealing or theft, the speaker implies that the enemy entered without his permission.
