"Sarojini Naidu's collection of poems titled 'The Broken Wing' reflects themes of love, loss, longing, and personal introspection. The poems capture the complexities of human emotions through evocative imagery and lyrical language. Naidu's work delves into the fragility of relationships, the resilience of the human spirit, and the beauty of nature."
I'm unable to show full poems on nature by Sarojini Naidu as it's copyrighted material. However, I can provide a brief summary or analysis of her nature-themed poems if you'd like.
Sarojini Naidu was born on February 13, 1879

Sarojini Naidu, an Indian independence activist and poet, authored the collection of poems called "The Golden Threshold." She was known for her lyrical poetry that celebrated Indian culture and independence.
Coromandel Fishers, Indian Weavers, The Queen's Rival and Palanquin Bearers are considered to be the best poems written by Sarojini Naidu. They are praiseworthy on account of their rich reverberating musical content. Of course opinions may wary.
"To a Buddha Seated on a Lotus" was part of "The Golden Threshold" a book of poems by Sarojini Naidu published in 1905. No closer date for the writing of the specific poem sems to be available.
Sarojini Naidu faced challenges related to gender discrimination and societal expectations. As a female poet and politician in colonial India, she had to overcome stereotypes and biases against women in leadership roles. Additionally, she navigated the complexities of advocating for India's independence while facing opposition from British colonial authorities.
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. It was not an award given to her; she just began to be called by that sobriquet.

Sarojini Naidu is also well acclaimed for her contribution to poetry. Her poetry had beautiful words that could also be sung. In 1905, the first volume of her collection of poems was published as The Golden Threshold. Two more volumes were published: The Bird of Time (1912) and The Broken Wing in (1917). Later, her The Wizard Mask and A Treasury of Poems were published. In 1961 her daughter, Padmaja published a collection of her previously unpublished poems under the title, The Feather of the Dawn.The Golden Threshold (1905)The Bird of Time: Songs of Life, Death & the Spring (1912)The Broken Wing: Songs of Love, Death and the Spring (1917)The Sceptred Flute: Songs of India (1928)The Feather of the Dawn (1961)The Gift of IndiaNaidu writes: :Shall hope prevail where clamorous hate is rife,Shall sweet love prosper or high dreams have placeAmid the tumult of reverberant strife'Twixt ancient creeds, 'twixt race and ancient race,That mars the grave, glad purposes of life,Leaving no refuge save thy succoring face?Naidu said, '"When there is oppression, the only self-respecting thing is to rise and say this shall cease today, because my right is justice."Naidu adds, "If you are stronger, you have to help the weaker boy or girl both in play and in the work."Without offending, would like to add the following:Her sweet name before marriage was Sarojini Devi, which many prefer. She was the real Nightingale of India. She is aptly called so, for almost all her songs are born from exquisite tunes. Their rich musical content has not yet been appreciated enough. Queen Gulnar's Daughter, Coromandel Fishers and The Indian Weavers are just three of her exquisite musical pieces. Imagine a thirteen year old girl sitting on a cattamaran in the Bay of Bengal playing and enjoying the rhythm of the tides and waves! That is how Coromandel Fishers happened. She is equalled in tunes, only by Rabindranadha Tagore, another Bengali and the National Poet of India.
Rabindranath Tagore and Sarojini Naidu are the most famous of the Indian poets who wrote beautiful poems in English. Both were Bengalis. Since their times, perfect English poems from India fell on the decline or withdrew to sequestered cloisters due to the haughtiness of the printing and media world as a real Indian will not go and stand before an editor or publisher to get his poems published. It is his nature. Tagore wrote quite a number of famous poems in English as well as in Bengali. Where The Mind Is Without Fear, Leave This Chanting and Govinda's Disciple are the most famous of the Tagore poems. Sarojini Naidu also wrote fine English poems.Coromandel Fishers, Indian Weavers, The Queen's Rival and Palanquin Bearers are considered to be the best. Then there is Nissim Ezekiel whose Night Of The Scorpion is noted.
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.
