KIRTY LEARNED TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR

We all have heard this poem, but how many of us know it beyond the usual four lines. My six-year-old Kirty does and the poem is pretty long. Let's jot it down--

Twinkle Twinkle Little star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky

When the blazing sun has gone

When there nothing shines upon

Then you show your little light

Twinkle twinkle all the night

Then the traveller in the dark

Thanks you for your tiny spark

He don't know which way to go

If you didn't twinkle so

In the dark blue sky you keep

And often through my curtains peep

You never shut your eye

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.
