Indian Love Lyrics (aka Garden of Kama) (1901)[edit]
- Less than the dust beneath thy chariot wheel,
Less than the rust that never stained thy sword,- Less Than the Dust
- Less than the weed that grows beside thy door
- Less Than the Dust
- Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar.
Where are you now? Who lies beneath your spell?
Whom do you lead on Rapture's roadway, far,
Before you agonise them in farewell?- Kashmiri Song
- I would have rather felt you round my throat
Crushing out life, than waving me farewell!- Kashmiri Song
