"Sad," said sword, and sad" said a
flag, and "sad" said gun of
wood.
"Sad," spoke rocking hobby, as sad
as hobby could.
And all of the nursery toys crept up
to the nursery window sill;
And there they whispered in soft, low
tones-for the room was very still.
IT'S been a week since he's played
with u.s." said broken jumping
jack,
For that was the day he tied the gold
en- thread on my yellow back"
perhaps he's gone out with his brand
new sled a-taking happy slide;
Perhaps he's gone on the choo-choo
cars a-taking a choo-choo ride. "
"We'll wait for him anyway" said a
doll, as it stepped from ninepin
box,
"Our little king can't stay away long
from his dolls and balls and
blocks.
Well keep real quiet and rest awhile;
we won't make any noise,
He'll be back soon to play with me
and all the rest OF the toys"
But they waited and waited, and soon
a cloud stole stealthily over the
Sky,
AS nurse came up with picture
book and laid it down with sigh.
And when she'd gone the toys all
crowded up to the book and said:
where's our king? Does he not like
us as we'll as his Christmas sled?"
But the picture book turned sadly
round and spoke to the nursery
land;
"'Tis 1 that's been with the king for
days. l was held in his little
hand.
And then the nurse came quietly and
carried me slowly away;
And a mother knelt by trundle bed;
and that's all can say"
And, oh. twas still in that nursery
room-very, very still.
Still for another long, long day, and a
day and a night until
There hoatcd up through the winding
hall a singing, soft and low;
Music the toys had never heard; sol.
emn and sad and slow.
And they tiptoed up to the window
pane of that little nursery room,
And watched the snownakes falling
| and peered through the snowy
gloom;
And they didn't know why the children
played in the yard and In the
street near by;
And they didn't know why they all
! looked sad, and many were seen
| to cry.
But now nursery is filled with toys
that wait for little king.
And they've scarcely stirred since the
quiet day that they heard the peo-
pie sing,
But they lie there still on the nursery
floor, and they whisper now and
then,
"Where's our king? Has he gone away
from his little soldier men,"
Yet no one answers their grievous
cries and no one hears their say,
For the little king rules on golden
throne, miles and miles away.
