TARGET: "Peter and John" poem plagerized?

["Doris Renfro, Lib., So. Range Mid. Sch." <SRAN_DR@ACCESS-K12.ORG>]

Here is another one.  Does anyone recognize this poem? It is entitle
"Peter and John", has 13 stanzas, and starts out like this:

Twelve good friends
Walked under the leaves,
Binding the ends
of the barley sheaves.

Peter and John
Lay down to sleep
Pillowed upon,
The hay-maker's heap.

Last stanza:

In the falling sun
He burned like a flame:
"John, Saint John,
I have dreamed the same!"

This supposedly was written by a 5th grade student.  Do you recognize it.
