When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle all the night.
The dark blue sky you keep
And often thro' my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.
'Tis your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark;
Though I know not what you are
Twinkle, twinkle, little star!
