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. 2. Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep And dreamt she heard them bleating. But when she awoke, she found it a joke. For they were still a-fleeting. 3. She took up her crook, intending to look, Determined for to find them; She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed For they’d left their tails behind them. 4. She heaved a sigh, and wiped her eye And ran over hill and dale, O! And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should, To tack to each sheep its tail, O!
