  2. The star • 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 gone • When he nothing shines upon • Then you show your little light • Twinkle twinkle all the night • Then the trav’ller in the dark • Thanks you for your tiny spark • He could not see which way to go • If you did not twinkle so • In 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 trav’ller in the dark • Tho’ I know not what you are • Twinkle twinkle little star

Rhyme scheme A A B B C C D D E E F F G G B B F F A A 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 gone When he nothing shines upon Then you show your little light Twinkle twinkle all the night Then the trav’ller in the dark thanks you for your tiny spark He could not see which way to go If you did not twinkle so In 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 trav’ller in the dark Tho’ I know not what you are Twinkle twinkle little star

In the first example I see a sunset going down then you see it turn to night and you see a star that shines bright! • The 2nd stanza I chose makes you picture a guy looking at the stars to guide him to where he needs to go. Hes thankful for that star.
