Lesson:

1. Twinkle, twinkle, little star;


How I wonder what you are,


Up above the world so high,


Like a diamond in the sky!





2. When the blazing sun is set,


And the grass with dew is wet,


Then you show your little light;


Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.





3. Then, if I wore in the dark,


I would thank you for your spark.


I could not see which way to go,


If you did not twinkle so.





4. And when I am sound asleep,


Oft you through my window peep;


For you never shut your eye,


Till the sun is in the sky.
