Twinkle, twinkle, little star, <br />How I wonder what you are ! <br />Up above the world so high, <br />Like a diamond in the sky. <br /> <br />When the blazing sun is gone, <br />When he nothing shines upon, <br />Then you show your little light, <br />Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. <br /> <br />Then the trav'ller in the dark, <br />Thanks you for your tiny spark, <br />He could not see which way to go, <br />If you did not twinkle so. <br /> <br />In the dark blue sky you keep, <br />And often thro' my curtains peep, <br />For you never shut your eye, <br />Till the sun is in the sky. <br /> <br />'Tis your bright and tiny spark, <br />Lights the trav'ller in the dark : <br />Tho' I know not what you are, <br />Twinkle, twinkle, little star.<br /><br />Ann Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-star/
