AUTHOR:	Eugene Field (1850–1895)
QUOTATION:	The little toy-dog is covered with dust But sturdy and stanch he stands; And the little toy-soldier is red with rust And his musket moulds 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.
ATTRIBUTION:	Little Boy Blue.
