She wrote the words to the song "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".

Ann Taylor's son, Josiah Gilbert, wrote in her biography, "two little poems–'My Mother,' and 'Twinkle, twinkle, little Star,' are perhaps, more frequently quoted than any; the first, a lyric of life, was by Ann, the second, of nature, by Jane; and they illustrate this difference between the sisters.

Jane Taylor was born on 23rd September 1783 and lived in Colchester, England. She is remembered as a poet, hymn writer and children`s author and, along with her older sister Ann , was responsible for writing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star (1806). Prior to this they published the collection Original Poems for Infant Minds in 1804. Hymns for Infant Minds followed in 1808. Their work contained a gentle piety and often provided warnings about behaviour to their young readers. 	Jane Taylor died from cancer on 13th April 1824.
