| 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 he nothing shines upon,
|
| Then you show your little light,
|
| Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
|
| Then the traveller 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,
|
| Lights the traveller in the dark, —
|
| Though I know not what you are,
|
| Twinkle, twinkle, little star. |
