The Star
Twinkle,
twinkle, little star,
How I wonder
what you are!
Up above the
world so high,
Like a diamond
in the sky.
When this
blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing
shines upon,
Then you show
your little light,
Twinkle,
twinkle, through the night.
Then the
traveller in the dark
Thanks you for
your tiny spark;
He could not see
where to go.
If you did not
twinkle so.
In the dark blue
sky you keep,
And often
through my curtains peep,
For you never
shut your eye
Till the sun is
in the sky.
As your bright
and tiny spark
Lights the
traveller in the dark,
Though I know
not what you are,
Twinkle,
twinkle, little star.
(Jane
Taylor)
