Little Bo-peep has lost her sheep
And can’t tell where to find them;
Leave them alone and they’ll come home
Bringing their tails behind them.
One morning a pretty little shepherdess drove her flock of sheep to the meadow. There she watched them while they ate the fresh, green grass. How sweet it tasted to the hungry sheep!
A large dog went with the shepherdess to help care for the sheep. He was the shepherd.
The shepherd let no lamb go astray. If one got too far from the flock, Mr. Shepherd ran after him.
“Bow-wow! Go back!” cried the shepherd.
The shepherdess took good care of her flock, too. She led them where the grass was greenest and sweetest.
