The star goes out,
there’s no light left
so now what will you do?
Little traveller who followed
that lamp in the night –
alone, it’s left you.
You can’t see which way to go
so will you wait?
Wait for this twinkle
that might not come back?
Or will you stumble blind
on to that road or into that ditch
or will you simply fall where you stand
for the sun that may likewise flee.
..
The nursery rhyme is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Aside from Jack and Jill, that was the only one I could recall.

When it finally snows here, I'll catch a snowflake and put it in the fridge.
