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!
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.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep,
While you thro’ my window peep,
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
This means a lot to me because my mom used to read it to me as a kid when I would go to sleep or take a nap. I loved this song my whole life and is definitely my favorite poem due to the memorial value. I had a pillow case that had stars on it because I loved the poem so much. I would look into the pillow as my mom read it. Today I still have the pillow. When I have children I will continue to read them this poem!
