Palanquin Bearers Poem by Sarojini Naidu
Palanquin Bearers
Lightly, O lightly we bear her along,
She sways like a flower in the wind of our song;
She skims like a bird on the foam of a stream,
She floats like a laugh from the lips of a dream.
Gaily, O gaily we glide and we sing,
We bear her along like a pearl on a string.
Softly, O softly we bear her along,
She hangs like a star in the dew of our song;
She springs like a beam on the brow of the tide,
She falls like a tear from the eyes of a bride.
Lightly, O lightly we glide and we sing,
We bear her along like a pearl on a string.
So beautiful a poem never was read, by me in a life so ahead, Yet so near, of the poetic heaven.
it was one of the favourite poems of my granny. Now after all these years when i read i understood why....
I repeat: Her poetry is written in indelible ink in the annals of history of modern Indian English literature. She passed away just after a couple of years my country got Independence. She is the great Sarojini Naidu, the Nightingale of India!
Congratulations to the relatives of the family of the late poetess, most deserving as the Modern Poem Of The Day
Happy to see this poem by Sarojini Naidu, once again, as the Poem of the day. Marvellous Poem
Nicely penned in verse with rhythmic splendour. A beautiful creation....
