India’s Love Lyrics

Request

Give me your self one hour; I do not crave
  For any love, or even thought, of me.
Come, as a Sultan may caress a slave
  And then forget for ever, utterly.

Come! as west winds, that passing, cool and wet,
  O’er desert places, leave them fields in flower
And all my life, for I shall not forget,
  Will keep the fragrance of that perfect hour!
