Subject: Lyr Add: TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR
From Music for the Nation: American Sheet Music 1870-1885

attributed to F. Delcken

1)Twinkle Twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
like a diamond in the sky

2&3)When the blazing sun has gone
when he nothing shines upon
then you show your little light
twinkle, twinkle all the night

3&4)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

5&6)As your bright and tiny spark
lights the traveller in the dark
though I know not what you are
twinkle, twinkle, little star

and from the same source, attributed to W.A. Briggs

twinkle, twinkle little star
how I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky

Oft I sit and gaze at thee
Twinkle twinkle star
Shining in the pale dim light
Twinkle twinkle star

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
