India’s Love Lyrics
India's Love Lyrics carries the reader through Kashmir and along the Northwest Frontier in the voices of Indian lovers and mourners, including "Kashmiri Song," the poem that opens "Pale hands I loved beside the Shalimar" and became the collection's best-known piece.
Adela Florence Nicolson wrote under the pen name Laurence Hope; the poems first appeared in London in 1901 as The Garden of Kama and Other Love Lyrics from India, and were published in America under the title India's Love Lyrics. She died in 1904, shortly after her husband.
