Zvijezda. Ne, nije ona betlehemska.
To je samo zvjezdoliki prorez u srcu jabuke. Malo zvjezdoliko skrovište u kojem sjemenke čekaju svoj trenutak.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
****
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
****
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.
Twinkle, twinkle, little s tar,
How I wonder what you are!
****
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.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
****
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" je popularna uspavanka engleske autorice Jane Taylor (1783–1824) . Pjeva se na francusku melodiju "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman", objavljenu 1761., koju je kasnije obradio Mozart u poznatom setu od 12 varijacija.
Mnogi su čuveni kompozitori koristili ovu melodiju u svojim djelima (Joseph Haydn, Camille Saint-Saëns, Franz Liszt, Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck ... ) a napisane su i brojne parodije na stihove i melodiju te pjesme.
