Over the town in clear ebony Shines down the glow of ancient stars Their light twinkling out a melody Of moonlight dreams in all that is ours The people go about life blithely Never seeing the amazing repertoires Of glorious night lights striking freely Against the city’s better memoirs Everyone who walks past them Should note the way they glitter and glimmer Beautiful sparkles that speak like a poem Starry nights the color of azure After seeing the scenic night sky I feel reassured of God’s vivid cheers And after whispering a silent sigh I will leave you my tears written about the painting by Vincent Van Gogh, "Starry Night"
