Sarojini Naidu as a Poet of Nature

Sarojini Naidu's poetry is undoubtedly poetry of nature. Her love of nature is reflected even in poems which are not about nature but have a different theme. Nature is the eternal environment of man, and Sarojini looks at it with a child-like, open-eyed wonder. Her response to Nature is the response of man in his infancy, who looked at nature, was fascinated with her sights and sounds, with her colors and odors, and is also struck with awe by her grandeur and her mystery. It is homely and familiar that fascinates Sarojini. and Nature. She is neither pantheistic like Wordsworth nor cosmic like Tagore. Sarojini Naidu feels a heavenly delight in nature and succeeds in communicating her own delight to her readers. It is said that her response is not limited to the visual sensation. It is auditory and tactual. The vocabulary of her nature poetry is such in words denoting colors, sounds, fragrances and skin feelings such as glassiness, softness, pliability and suppleness.
