Little Bo-pecp

Has lost her sheep,

And doesn't know 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 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 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

Unto a meadow hard by,

There she espied

Their tails side by side,

All hung on a tree to dry.

Sleep, baby, sleep !

Thy father watches the sheep,

And tendeth the lambs upon yonder hill.

But mother watches one dearer still.

Sleep, baby, sleep !

Sleep, baby, sleep !

Soft be thy slumbers and deep.

While over our heads wild winds meet,

An old, old lullaby they repeat :

Sleep, baby, sleep !

Sleep, baby, sleep !

The baby knows not to weep.

Unconscious it lies of the toil of life,

Knows nothing yet of its din and strife,

Sleep, baby, sleep !

And tendeth the lambs upon yonder hill,

Three children sliding on the ice.

All on a summer's day,

As it fell out. they all iell id.

And the rest they ran away

Now had these children been at home.

Or sliding on dry ground,

Ten thousand pounds to one penny,

They had not all been drowned.

You parents all, that children have,

And you too, that have none,

If you would have them safe abroad,

Pray keep them safe at home.
