GUEST,Barlow Lyr/Tune ADD: When Poppies Close Their Eyes (15) Old Folk Song 23 Jan 08

Looking for the music and lyrics to an old folk song used in Chicago elementry schools in the early part of 1952. I have the lyrics but I'm not sure they are correct. Need the music.
    FIRST VERSE
    When poppies close their crimson eyes
    When ripples widen on the river
    When swallows wheel in evening skies
    When willows whisper silken sighs
    My longing heart in fancy flies
    To where snowcapped mountain rise


Happy trails,
Ben
