Little Bo.Peer.

Alttie bO-feep
Has gone to sleep
And left the world behind her:
Left mother alone,
With a heart of stone,
And three.legged sheep to remind her
That little Bo-Peep
Has gone to sleep.
And left the world behind her.
To little Bc-Peep
Who has gore to sleep,
Tho world was of play ana laughter;
For little she knew,
AS some Of us do.
OF the pain and the tears that come
after.
So why should we weep
For little Bo-Peep?
And mothers own grief should remind
her,
That curly haired tot
Is spared quite lot:
And Some Day or Other she'll find her
That little Bo-Peep,
Who went to sleep
And left the world behind her.
