Quotes Indian Love Lyrics (aka Garden of Kama) (1901) 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 throatCrushing out life, than waving me farewell!
