The star by Ann Taylor and Jane Taylor

1. The star by Ann Taylor and Jane Taylor Sydney Collins

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

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.
