Tink-a-tink, tink-a-tink, <br />By the light of the star, <br />On the blue river's brink, <br />I heard a guitar. <br /> <br />I heard a guitar, <br />On the blue waters clear, <br />And knew by its music, <br />That Selim was near! <br /> <br />Tink-a-tink, tink-a-tink, <br />How the soft music swells, <br />And I hear the soft clink <br />Of the minaret bells!<br /><br />William Makepeace Thackeray<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-minaret-bells/
