Pale Hands I Love (Kashmir Song) From Indian Love Lyrics by Amy Woodforde-Finden
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?
Pale hands, pink-tipped, like lotus-buds that float On those cool waters where we used to dwell, I would have rather felt you round my throat Crushing out life than waving me farewell! Pale hands I love beside the shalimar, Where are you now? (poem: Laurence Hope)
