Bo Peep

Origin
"Little Bo Peep" or "Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep" is a popular English language nursery rhyme.

As with most products of oral tradition, there are many variations to the rhyme. The most common modern version is:
 * Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
 * And doesn't know where to find them;
 * Leave them alone, And they'll come home,
 * Wagging their tails behind them.

The following additional verses are often added to the rhyme:
 * 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
