LITTLE BOY BLUE.

LITTLE BOY BLUE
The little toy dog is covered with uus''
Rut sturdy and staunch he STANDS
And the little toy soldier Is red with rust
And his musket moulds in his HANDS
Time was when the httle 10Y u0e was
new
And the soldier was passing fair.
IA not u.as the ticne when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now. don't go till come he SAID
"And don't YOU make any noise"
So todoling off to his trundle bed
He dreant Of his pretty toys.
Aud as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue.
Oh the wears are many, the years are
long.
Rpt the little toy friends are true.
Az faithful 10 Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of little hand
The smile OF little face.
And they wonder. as waiting these long
years through.
In the dust of that little chair,
What las become OF our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them
there.
