　　LITTLE BO-PEEP

　　Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
　　And can't tell where to find them;
　　Leave them alone, and they'll come home,
　　And bring their tails behind them.

　　Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,
　　And dreamt she heard them bleating;
　　But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
　　For still they all were fleeting.

　　Then up she took her little crook,
　　Determined for to find them;
　　She, found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
　　For they'd left all their tails behind 'em!

　　It happened one day, as Bo-peep did stray
　　Unto a meadow hard by--
　　There she espied their tails, side by side,
　　All hung on a tree to dry.

　　She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,
　　And over the hillocks she raced;
　　And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
　　That each tail should be properly placed.
