1. Star light, star bright,


The first star I see tonight,


I wish I may, I wish I might,


Have the wish I wish tonight.

2. 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 is set,


And the grass with dew is wet,


Then you show your little light,


Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.





As your bright and tiny spark


Lights the traveller in the dark,


Though I know not what you are,


Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
