Poems by Sarojini Naidu
The Coromandel Fishers
... But sweeter, O brothers, the kiss of the spray and the dance of the wild foam's glee ...
The Poet's Love Song
... On the still mountains and the soundless deeps, ...
A Rajput Love Song
... that flutters, Its collar-band of gleaming bells atinkle as I ride, ...
To A Buddha Seated On A Lotus
... Dream yields to dream, strife follows strife, ...
The Indian Gypsy
... With frugal skill her simple wants she tends, ...
In The Forest
... Let us rise, O my heart, let us gather the dreams that remain, ...
The Illusion of Love
... Chance-winnowed by the sea-winds from the sea ...
Wandering Singers
... What hope shall we gather, what dreams shall we sow ...
Palanquin Bearers
... She springs like a beam on the brow of the tide, ...
The Snake Charmer
... Where the clustering keovas guard the squirrel's slumber, ...
Humayun To Zobeida (From the Urdu)
... Yet, when I crave of you, my sweet, one tender moment's grace, ...
Leili
... To tangled paths where shy gazelles are straying, ...
A Love Song From The North
... And jewelled with raindrops the mango-leaves quiver, ...
Indian Dancers
... ow silent, now singing and swaying and swinging, like blossoms that bend to the breezes or showers, ...
Indian Weavers
... . . . Like the plumes of a peacock, purple and green, ...
