If you have the virtualbox additions installed (which it should be IIRC in the sage virtualbox image), then you can copy some text in your host machine and paste it in the guest sage command line by pressing shift and insert at the same time.

On second thoughts, I think you are working on the console. In this case, try installing gpm and enabling the gpm service. This will give you a working mouse in the console. You can copy simply by highlighting stuff, and paste by using middle click (or click both left and right buttons at the same time if you don't have a middle button). I am unsure what distribution the virtualbox image is running, so depending on the distribution, run the commands stated in this website.
