_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 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
Lights the traveller in the dark_,
_Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star._
