Starry, Starry night<br />

Portraits hung in empty halls<br />

Frameless heads on nameless walls<br />

With eyes that watch the world and can't forget<br />

Like the strangers that you've met<br />

<strong>The</strong> ragged men in ragged clothes<br />

<strong>The</strong> silver thorn, a bloody rose<br />

Lie cr<strong>us</strong>hed and broken on the virgin snow.<br />

Now I think I know<br />

What you tried to say, to me<br />

And how you suffered for your sanity<br />

And how you tried to set them free:<br />

<strong>The</strong>y would not listen; they're not listening still--<br />

Perhaps they never will.
