The Starry Night is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an imaginary village.

                              blue night
                             stars bright

                                                            glimmer
                                                            wonder!

                                window
                                sky glow 

                                                          beam moon 
                                                           dawn soon

                             waves swirl
                             glazed pearl

                                                               
                                                               venus
                                                               charm us
                             huts sleep 
                            hushed deep

                                                              cypress 
                                                              impress

                            tree high
                            soar sky

                                                                all blue
                                                                pale hue
