Little Bo Peep

"Little Bo Peep" or "Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep" is a English language nursery rhyme featured to on ABC's Once Upon a Time.

Traditional verses
Little and 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
