Jayashree Naidu ||The Nightingale of India, Sarojini Naidu || The Nightingale of India, Sarojini Naidu- is the synonym for Indian poetry in English. The sweetest thoughts are embedded in the shortest possible words And a poet at heart and in her writings too! The songs of yester-years flow in the music of her poems. Here is one such poem - *Alabaster* Alabaster is a stone used to make decorative boxes and even statues. Perfumes and Spices are stored in these decorative boxes to reflect their worth. Sarojini Naidu gives a new comparative for heart that has "the spice and the scent" of life. Alabaster LIKE this alabaster box whose art Is frail as a cassia-flower, is my heart, Carven with delicate dreams and wrought With many a subtle and exquisite thought. Therein I treasure the spice and scent Of rich and passionate memories blent Like odours of cinnamon, sandal and clove, Of song and sorrow and life and love. 22.2.2014 ఉ 6.55
