Starry Night, Starry Night.
When towns are sleeping, smoke is rising.
People run and people shout.
The fire is out, the town is quiet.
They look to the heavens and see
Many, many stars in the starry,
Starry night.

I wrote this originally for English class in 6th grade, but then my teacher made me add stuff and I ended up hating it. But I love the original so I thought I'd share it.
