Poetry Solace: Of twinkle stars

Here is a poem that I stumbled upon when I flipped through The New Oxford Book of Romantic Period Verse.. I didn't realize it was a verse/poem.. I bet most of you don't either...

The Star
by Jane Taylor

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 traveller 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 through my curtains peep,

For you never shut your eye

Till the sun is in the sky.

As you bright and tiny spark

Lights the traveller in the dark,

Though I know not what you are,

Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Have a great weekend! Enjoy!
