Chuchu tv twinkle twinkle little star nursery rhyme

'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' by Jane Taylor is a five stanza poem that follows the simple rhyme scheme of AABB CCDD, and so on, changing end sounds as the stanzas progress. The last stanza repeats the end sounds of the first with “are” and “star” ending lines three and four.

"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is sung to the tune of the French melody "Ah! vous dirai-je, maman", which is also used for the "Alphabet song" and "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep".

'Twinkle, twinkle little star' is such a familiar rhyme for children, that we often forget the fact that it has a named author – Jane Taylor (1783-1824). The rhyme is the first stanza of a poem in Rhymes for the Nursery (1806), a volume of verse for children written by Jane Taylor in collaboration with her sister Ann.

1. Personification: Jane Taylor has used a personification that means to show human quality for inanimate objects like a star. She has personified the star in the second last line of the 8th stanza “For you never shut your eye” as if the star is a person who keeps its eyes open and doesn't go to sleep.
