The little page lav all alone,And hid his head and cried, Until it seemed Ids aching heartWould hurst his little side. The chamher door was set ajar,And one was passing by Who heard the little pages sobsAnd then his piteous cry. Then some one lifted up the latchAnd pushed the heavy door, And then a lady entered in And crossed the chamber floor— A lady tall and sweet and fair,In bridal white who stepped; She stood beside the pages bed,And asked him why he —AND NONE HAD TIME TO SPARETO TEND A LITTLE WEEPING PAGE. 136 POEMS FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES
