What famous painting is this poem about?

0 votes

Tell me what painting you think it is and tell me if you like it or not.

 

As I walk through the hills,

I get the chills,
When a cool breeze passes by,
Blowing the lone cypress tree standing in the distance.
The tree is the piece de resistance,
My favorite part of this place.

For I too, am alone,
A traveler on my own.
Like the cypress,
I watch this peaceful town.
And while I look up at the stars I start to frown,
Knowing I will not be here again soon.

The most famous cypresses are Van Gogh's. Perhaps its "Road with Cypress and Star". It was his last painting at the asylum, so it should be quite famous. The last line should end with more finality. Maybe you can detach the speaker a little. The rhyme in the first two rhymes are awkward, try inserting a line between.
