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
How could he see where to go
If you did not twinkle so?

In the dark blue sky you keep
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 traveler in the dark
Though I know not what you are
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
