(da http://bcn.boulder.co.us/~neal/poetry/twinkle.html)Twinkle Twinkle little star,I don't wonder what you are;For by spectroscopic ken,I know that you're hydrogen;Twinkle Twinkle little star, I don't wonder what you are.Twinkle, twinkle, little star.Now we're learning what you are.For by spectroscopic ken,You're Helium and Hydrogen;Twinkle, twinkle, little star.Now we're learning what you are.Now we know that you went bustFilled the void with clouds of dust.Oxygen and carbon areElements made in a star.Twinkle, twinkle, little star.What you've made is what we are.Twinkle, twinkle little starHow I've wondered what WE are.Now I know you're made of dustNow I know you're just like us.Twinkle, Twinkle oh so far,Now I know I am a star.Twinkle, twinkle little starHow I wonder where you are;Up above I see you shineBut according to Dr. EinsteinYou are not where you pretend!You are just around the bend,And your sweet seductive rayHas been leading men astrayAll these years, O little star!Don't you know how bad you are?...An incandescent ball of gasCondensing to a solid mass....Jane Taylor wrote the first 3 verses in 1806, but the familiar tune currently playing is Wolfgang Mozart's piano variation of an 18th Century French folksong, "Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman"."spectroscopic ken" verse by Lewis Fry Richardson or Ian D. Bush (I've seen both credited....) "Now we're learning what you are" and "elements" verses by Neal McBurnett. "I am a star" verse by Robert K Davis. I haven't figured out who wrote the other derivations....
