Sarojini Naidu (13 February 1879 - 2 March 1949 / Hyderabad / India)
Poems by Sarojini Naidu : 3 / 50
Alabaster
LIKE this alabaster box whose art
Is frail as a cassia-flower, is my heart,
Carven with delicate dreams and wrought
With many a subtle and exquisite thought.
Therein I treasure the spice and scent
Of rich and passionate memories blent
Like odours of cinnamon, sandal and clove,
Of song and sorrow and life and love.
