SONGS OF MY CITY: 1. IN A LATTICED BALCONY, by SAROJINI NAIDU Poet's Biography First Line: How shall I feed thee, beloved? Last Line: With the delicate silence of love. Subject(s): Folk Songs - Indian; Love | ||||||||
How shall I feed thee, Beloved? On golden-red honey and fruit. How shall I please thee, Beloved? With th' voice of the cymbal and lute. How shall I garland thy tresses? With pearls from the jessamine close. How shall I perfume thy fingers? With th' soul of the keora and rose. How shall I deck thee, O Dearest? In hues of the peacock and dove. How shall I woo thee, O Dearest? With the delicate silence of love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A CHALLENGE TO FATE by SAROJINI NAIDU |
