Indian English Wyatt, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Herbert, Herrick, Donne, Marvell, Keats, Wordsworth, Shelley, Coleridge, Arnold, Tennyson, Browning, Hardy, Eliot, Auden Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Indian English poet and poetess
While meeting them during a seminar on
Or in the poetic conference,
It took me by surprise
To know
Though they died long ago,
But the Indian poets were addressing
One another as Wyatt, Spenser, Shakespeare,
Milton, Herbert, Herrick,
Donne, Marvell, Vaughan,
Dryden, Pope,
Wordsworth, Keats, Shelley,
Tennyson, Browning, Arnold,
Hardy, Eliot, Pound, Yeats,
Auden, Spender.

God knows who was what,
But they were saying so,
I heard them saying,
Calling
And addressing as
O Shakespeare, come here,
O Milton,
O Wordsworth,
O Eliot
Without having authored
The Faerie Queene,
Sonnets,
Paradise Lost,
Lyrical Ballads,
In Memoriam,
The Waste Land.
