Poem by William Makepeace Thackeray

The Minaret Bells

Tink-a-tink, tink-a-tink,
By the light of the star,
On the blue river's brink,
I heard a guitar.

I heard a guitar,
On the blue waters clear,
And knew by its music,
That Selim was near!

Tink-a-tink, tink-a-tink,
How the soft music swells,
And I hear the soft clink
Of the minaret bells! 

1. The King on the Tower
2. Peg of Limavaddy
3. The Almack’s Adieu
4. The Last of May
5. My Nora
