Little Bo-Peep has lost his sheep And cannot 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 he heard them bleating. When he awoke, he found it a joke, For still they all were fleeting. Then up he took his little crook, Determined for to find them; He found them indeed, but it made his heart bleed, For they'd left their tails behind them. |
