The Poetical Sketches of Sarojini Naidu

S. Nagendra and B. Sudha Sai

Nightingale of India

Sarojini is an outstanding and distinguished poetess of India. She needs no introduction as her name is familiar to every reader of Indo-Anglian poetry. Popularly known as the ‘Bharat-Kokila’ or ‘The Nightingale of India’, she is the most lyrical woman poet. In her perfect lyricism and mellifluous melody, she is indeed the Nightingale of India in Indian imagination. She is one of Mother India’s most gifted children, readily sharing her burden of pain, fiercely articulating her agonies and hopes, and gallantly striving to redeem the Mother and redeem the time.

Sarojini Naidu once described herself as “a wild free thing of the air like the birds with a song in her heart.” This self-portrait reveals her essential poetic temperament and lyrical gifts. Spontaneity and naturalness of manner give her poetry a distinct bird-like quality and melodic beauty. she is a great music maker of superior poetic craftsmanship. Her poetry has great verbal beauty and glow of imagination. It abounds in sensuous similes and rich metaphors. Here is one from Lieli:

A caste-mark on the azure brows of heaven
The golden moon burns, sacred, solemn bright.
