The Star
Ann and Jane Taylor
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When she nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark:
He could not see which way 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
Light the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
