An extremely creepy account of an unknown entity staring unblinkingly through bedroom curtains. Like other grim or terrifying nursery songs, it’s traditionally sung to children in a light-hearted tone to better mask the underlying horror, making it all the more terrifying when finally revealed.
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 gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see where 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.
