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
