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.
# History and Meaning
The English lyrics were written as a poem by 23 year old Jane Taylor called "The Star" in 'Rhymes for the Nursery' along with her sister Ann Taylor in London in 1806. It is written to the same tune as The Alphabet Song (A, B, C, D etc) which both come from the same source: Ah vous dirai-je, Maman (Franz Liszt, 1833).
