John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

8061 Eugene Field 1850-1895 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:8061
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.
