The Cloud Messenger - an Indian love lyric translated from Sanskrit. It is a beautiful book/poem.
As an aside, let me transcribe the editor's note which bears repeating:
The object of the editors of this series is a very definite one. They desire above all things that, i their humble way, these books shall be the ambassadors of good-will and understanding between the East and West--the old world of Thought and the new of Action. They are confident that a deeper knowledge of the great ideals and lofty philosophy of the Oriental thought may help to a revival of that true spirit of Charity which neither despises nor fears the nations of another creed and colour.
