A poison tree

I was angry with my friend
I told my wrath,my wrath did end
I was angry with my foe!
I told it not,my wrath did grow.
And i watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And i sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceiful wiles.
And it grew both day and night
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad i see
My foe outstreched beneath the tree

Reminds me of a children's poem:
See see my enemy
Come out and fight with me
And bring your dragons three
Climb up my poison tree
Slide down my razorblade
Into your stickerbush
And we'll be jolly enemies
Forevermore
I know it's silly, but that's what your poem reminded me of. Did you write that yourself?
