Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

A bright star shines high in the night sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

A bright star shines high in the night sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

01

The little star shines after sunset.

When the blazing sun is gone,

When he nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little light,

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

02

A traveller stands at a dark fork in the path beneath the little star.

Then the trav'ller in the dark,

Thanks you for your tiny spark,

He could not see which way to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

03

The star shines beside the child’s bed and blue curtains.

In the dark blue sky you keep,

And often thro' my curtains peep,

For you never shut your eye,

Till the sun is in the sky.

04

The star lights the traveller’s path in the dark.

'Tis your bright and tiny spark,

Lights the trav'ller in the dark:

Tho' I know not what you are,

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

How I wonder what you are
