Little Bo-Peep

Little Bo-peep has lost her shep,
  And cannot tell where to find them;
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
  And carry 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 they were all 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 their tails behind them.
