Little Bo-Peep

ok, I admit that I didn't knew that Little Bo-Peep was such a long rhyme ;)

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,

And doesn't know where to find them;

Leave them alone and they'll come home,

Bringing their tails behind them.
 

Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep,

And dreampt 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 'em indeed, but it made her heart bleed,

For they'd left 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 ran o'er hill and dale-o,

And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,

To tack to each sheep its tail-o.

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,

And doesn't know where to find them;

Leave them alone and they'll come home,

Bringing their tails behind them.
