Field's poem goes: (Something like this anyhow.)

The little toy dog is covered with dust, but sturdy & staunch he stands.

The little toy soldier is covered with rust & his musket molds in his hand.

Time was when the little toy dog was new & the soldier was passing fair.

That was the time when Little Boy Blue kissed them & put them there

That's close to the way Field's poem starts. I hope that is what you are looking for.
