Naidu's poetry is lyrical and musical, using many types of meter and rhyme and filled with rich imagery. It deals with love and death, separation and longing, and the mystery of life, all important themes for poetry. There is much rhetorical gesturing, much longing for an ideal past or an ideal love. In the end the poetry tends to become monotonous and repetitive. For this reason she is called the nightingale of India. she received serious recognition and much acclaim and was spoken of as the "nightingale of India" long after she had ceased to sing.[I THINK]

The liquidity of her diction and the rich musical content and lyrical beauty of her poems gained her the sobriquet The Nightingale of India, or Bharat Kokila in Hindi.

The three phases of Sarojini Naidu's poetry are first, the themes of the home, its surroundings and nature, second, fellow human beings and fellow-creations and third, the entirety and vision of the world.The observation that in the end her poetry tends to become monotonous and repetitive is not correct or justified. Arthur Symons described Sarojini Naidu's poems as Un-English and Oriental for their eastern magic.
