| | | TWINKLE, twinkle, little star; | |
| How I wonder what you are! | |
| Up above the world so high, | |
| Like a diamond in the sky. | |
| |
| When the glorious sun is set, | 5 |
| When the grass with dew is wet, | |
| Then you show your little light, | |
| Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. | |
| |
| When the blazing sun is gone, | |
| When he nothing shines upon, | 10 |
| Then you show your little light, | |
| Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. | |
| |
| In the dark-blue sky you keep, | |
| And often through my curtains peep; | |
| For you never shut your eye | 15 |
| Till the sun is in the sky. | |
| |
| As your bright and tiny spark | |
| Lights the traveller in the dark, | |
| Though I know not what you are, | |
| Twinkle, twinkle, little star! | 20 | | | |
