WILLIE'S LETTER.
THE LITTLE 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 set, And the grass with dew is wet, Then you show your little light; Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
- Then, if I were in the dark, I would thank you for your spark. I could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so.
- 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.
