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 a 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.

When the traveller in the dark,

Thanks you for your tiny spark.

Could he see which way to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

Twinkle twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is a popular English nursery rhyme.

The lyrics are from an early nineteenth-century English poem, "The Star" by Jane Taylor.  It is sung to the tune of the French melody "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman".

It has inspired Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with his Variations on "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman".
