What is the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star all about?

Answer 1

Poetry in general is contemporarily thought to mean whatever you can demonstrate that it means, devoid of authorial intent, based upon the words and other poetric devices contained within the text. This is a way one can think of the concept of "formalism" or "textualism." In many ways also, by intentionally disregarding any statements of intent by the author, which recent schools of thought that are in the academic mainstream view as a Capitalist construct separete from any true meaning, is a way to understand the concept of "the author is dead." In this way, one can more easily understand the thinking behind this authorial obliviation, one of the precepts which originated with Marxist theoreticians in the late 1960s and that has been integrated into post-modernist critical theory as one of its central pillars, among others.

So what does it mean to you?

The narrator begins by asking a question, rhetorically. What are you? Above the world, high above, precious and shimmering. That which exists only when the sun is gone, perhaps unable to be seen unless there is darkness upon the world. Twinkling. Inconstant, fluttering, perhaps unsure.

For those looking for their place in the world, unsettled, the travellers, there is the idea that without that pinhole of light, blinking, that none could know their direction. This presupposes that travellers do not, for whatever reason, journey during the light of day. Perhaps something or some force makes those who have not yet found their place unable to journey while the sun lights their path, intentions, etc.

And in the last two stanzas, there is this idea that the narrator feels themself perhaps like one of those travellers, though maybe for whatever reason themselves not yet able or ready to make their own journey. Yet, they are comforted by the knowledge that this noctural beacon exists. But, a beacon to where? A beacon of what? Leading to what? The reference to a spark, akin to invention, or ingenuity is a comparison made. Now, however, instead of lighting a path for the traveller, it is said that it "lights the traveler in the dark" perhaps indicating that it has no desire to protect or guide, but can be whatever one perceives it to be. As guide, or betrayer. Yet, despite the uncertainty, the unknowing of its nature, there is a final appeal to continue, twinkle, little star.

It is not about a star that twinkles, so it twinkles, or any other such nonsensical non-responsive blathering idiocy that has been here nearly a decade making everyone who reads it dumber for having read it.

Answer 2

Twinkle twinkle little star is a nursery rhyme which many people are familiar with, but usually only the first stanza.

Jane Taylor wrote a poem "The Star" (that is where the lyrics of Twinkle twinkle little star come from) which was given the French melody "Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman. This poem of Taylor's was published in 1806.

There are several variations of it. For the English variation, the tune is the same as the "Alphabet Song."
