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 the nothing shines up on
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle all the night.

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.
'Tis your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
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
