Nursery Rhyme : Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep is one of the popular English nursery rhymes.

 

Lyrics

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And doesn't know where to find them;

Leave them alone, And they'll come home,
Dragging 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 still a-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. 

It happened one day, as Bo-peep did stray
Into 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 went rambling,
And tried what she could, as a shepherdess should,
To tack each again to its lambkin.

Another version has the first verse as:

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them;
Leave them alone, And they'll come home,
Wagging their tails behind them.

Origin

The moral of this song is that one must not fall asleep when doing their work and if they do so, they will have to face the consequences.
