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.
