Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky so deep,
Through my curtains often peep,
For you never close your eyes,
Till the morning sun does rise.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

This song is often sung to children to help soothe them and lull them to sleep. It has become one of the most well-known and beloved nursery rhymes around the world.The lyrics were written by Jane Taylor.
