Jane Taylor was an English poet who also worked as a novelist and was part of the Romanticism movement. She is best known for composing the words to “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Her collection, Original Poems for Infant Minds by several young persons, was incredibly popular.
‘The Poppy’ by Jane Taylor describes a single, vain poppy flower boldly growing in the sunlight of a field and the speaker’s distaste for it’s display.
High on a bright and sunny bed
A scarlet poppy grew
And up it held its staring head,
And thrust it full in view.
‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ by Taylor is a timeless lullaby celebrating the wonder of stars with simplicity and charm.
Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.
