LITTLE BOY BLUE.
The little toy dog is covered with dust
But sturdy and stanch he stands: ,
Al And hi his ' musket moulds in his hands
And the soldier was passing fair, ,, -, D,,o
And that was the time when our Little boy duo
Kissed them and put them there.
Now. don't you go till come" he said.
and don't you make any roise.
So toddling off to his trundle bed
He dreamt Of the pretty toys
And as he was dreaming an anger song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue -
Oh the years many. the years are iohs'
But the little toy friends are true
Av faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand
Each In the same old place
Awaiting the touch OF little hand
The smile OF a little face. -, oa-,
And they wonder waiting these long years
through. 1880
In The dust of that little chair.
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
since he kissed them and put them there;
