Sarojini Naidu's The Golden Threshold Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The Golden Threshold contains in
Some of the remarkably written songs and lyrics
To be called poems,
Singing like Mahatma's The Nightingale,
Warbling, doing madrigals
As and when we talk of or chance upon
Her poetry
Taking to read and enjoy and appreciate
Palanquin-Bearers, Wandering Singers,
Indian Weavers, Coromandel Fishers,
The Snake-Charmer, Corn-Grinders,
The Poet's Love-Song, Indian Dancers,
The Queen's Rival, The Indian Gipsy,
The Pardah Nashin, Street Cries,
To India, To a Buddha seated on a Lotus,
Enabling us to have the draught of
Folk, classical and Provencal
And pastoral, idyllic and love poetry,
First printed in 1905,
But dedicated to Edmund Gosse
Her literary mentor.
