Twelve times the old year has qui.

The adjoining nj outlying lands

Little Bow Blue.

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and StanCh he stands,
And the little toy soldier Is red with rust,
And the muskct mods in his hands
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now don't 90 till | come" said he,
And don't you make any nOiSC,"
So, toddlinE Off to his truudlc bed,
He drcamt of tho pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue.
Oh, the years are many, the years are
long,
But the little toy friends are true!
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
stand,
Each in the same old place.
Awaiting the touch Of the little hand,
The smile of a little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long
years through
In the dust Of that little chair,
What has become Of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them ana put them
there.
