Title: The Merry Bard Author: William Makepeace Thackeray [More Titles by Thackeray] ZULEIKAH! The young Agas in the bazaar are slim-wasted and wear There is a bird upon the terrace of the Emir's chief wife. Praise There is a little brown bird in the basket-maker's cage. Praise be The peacock is an Aga, but the little bird is a Bulbul. I am a little brown Bulbul. Come and listen in the moonlight. [The end] GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
