THE LITTLE WEAVER.

Once IN an eastern palace wide
A little child sat weaving;
So patiently her task she piled,
The men and women at her side
Flocked round her, almost gtieving.
"How is il, little one" they said,
you work so well and cheerily?"
You never seem to break your thread,
Or snarl, or tangle it, instead
OfwOrking smooth and clearly.
"Our weaving gets so worn and soiled,
Our silk so frayed and broken,
For all we've fretted, wept and toiled,
We know the lovely patterns spoiled"
They sighed as words were spoken.
The little child looked in their eyes,
So full of care and trouble;
And pity chased the sweet surprise
That filed her own, as sometimes tiles
The rainbow in the bubble.
81 only go and tell the King"
She said nbashed and meekly;
"Iou know, He said in everything,
"Why so do wer' they cried; I'VE bring
Him all our troubles weekly"
She turned her little head aside;
A moment let them wrangle;
"Ah, but" she softly then replied,
81 go and get the knot united
At the first little tangled"
o little children-weavers ALI
Our brOidery we spangle
With many II tear that need not fall,
If on our King we would but call
At the first little tangle!
