HOW THE SHEEP FOUND BO-PEEP.
Little Bo-peep awoke from her sleep,
Her eyes opened wide and wider,
For she found herself seated on the grass
With an old sheep standing beside her.
Her eyes opened wide and wider,
For she found herself seated on the grass
With an old sheep standing beside her.
“Little Bo-peep,” said the good, old sheep,
“How glad I am we've found you!
“Here we are—rams and sheep and lambs—
“All flocking up around you.”
“How glad I am we've found you!
“Here we are—rams and sheep and lambs—
“All flocking up around you.”
“You blessed sheep,” said little Bo-peep,
“I've been worried to death about you.”
“We've been searching for you,” said the good old sheep,
“We wouldn't go home without you.”
“I've been worried to death about you.”
“We've been searching for you,” said the good old sheep,
“We wouldn't go home without you.”
October 30th, 1881.
