Sarojini Naidu was seventeen when she read her first poems to Arthur Symons in London, and his introduction recalls their friendship. Her debut collection opens with folk songs of palanquin bearers, Coromandel fishers, snake-charmers and corn-grinders, then turns to cradle songs, love lyrics and poems of Hyderabad, all in richly musical English.
