St. Nicholas/Volume 40/Number 10/Mother Goose

LITTLE BO-PEEP Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep, ⁠And can't tell where to find them; Leave them alone and they ‘Il come ⁠home, ⁠And bring their tails behind them. 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.	THREE BLIND MICE Three blind mice! See how they run! They all ran after the farmer's wife, Who cut off their tails with the carving- ⁠knife,— Did you ever see such fun in your life Did you‍As three blind mice?

PUSSY-CAT, PUSSY-CAT

“Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat, where have you been?”
“I ’ve been up to London to look at the Queen.”
“Pussy-cat, Pussy-cat, what did you there?”
“I frightened a little mouse under the chair.”
