Sarojini Naidu

Sarojini Naidu (1879–1949) was an Indian political activist and poet who later served as the first Governor of the United Provinces. Her English-language volumes include The Golden Threshold (1905) and The Bird of Time (1912).

The anthology spells her name ‘Sarojini Nayadu’. The poems printed here are those given in The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse (1917), edited by D. H. S. Nicholson and A. H. E. Lee; the text is taken from that anthology.
