9.

TWINKLE, twinkle, little star;

1 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 traveller 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 through my curtains peep;
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

W HEN the snow is on the ground,

Little Robin Redbreast grieves;
For no berries can be found,

And on the trees there are no leaves.

The air is cold, the worms are hid;

For this poor bird what can be done? We'll strew him here some crumbs of bread,

And then he 'll live till the snow is gone.

O
