~~I couldn't sleep again, and just got to browsing, and somehow came across a webpage on history of Nursery Rhymes that dated back all the way to whenever the Plague was going on...wow can't believe something like this is still around...I have only went over a few, but since I LOVE stars sooo much, I felt extremely touched by such beautiful words..I've never read or heard these entire lyrics, but it's very clever how it all fits and makes sense...now things that are written today are just trash with nothing but vulgarity in every line or every other word...I even got a star in the sky to honour all my friends...I named it the "Friendship and Amore" star, and it's official since I have the framed certificate hanging on my wall, the small card that I carry with me that is the size of a credit card, and it's also in the vault in Switzerland...just don't ask me to try and find it, cause I have no idea what I'm looking for...I do believe I've found the next topic for my future college essay since mine alone turn out to be over 30 pages or more...much longer than anyone elses but it's too easy for me, and I can talk forever on anything...~~

"The beautiful words of Twinkle twinkle little star have been immortalised in the poem and music has been added thus increasing its popularity. The simile ' like a diamond in the sky' teaches children how words can be used to paint a picture in the imagination. The words create a comparison between the twinkling of the star to a sparkling diamond thus providing a perfect illustration of clever imagery and excellent use of the English language. The joint authors of Twinkle twinkle little star were two sisters called Ann Taylor (1782-1866) and Jane Taylor (1783-1824).
The first publication date was 1806.


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 your bright and tiny spark lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are - twinkle, twinkle little star."
