Poems for Kids

“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.”

This is a very popular English lullaby and probably the first poem every child is taught in school. The lyrics are from famous poet Jane Taylor’s English composition “The star”. Although the poem has five stanzas, only the first one is widely known. (Thank God! Who would have learnt the whole poem?) Anyways, the main reason for it being so famous is that its origins are linked to Mozart and it uses the same tone as the “alphabet song”.
