THE BANGLE SELLERS ~BY SAROJINI NAIDU
Bangle sellers are we who bear
Our shining loads to the temple fair…
Who will buy these delicate, bright
Rainbow-tinted circles of light?
Bangle sellers are we who bear
Our shining loads to the temple fair…
Who will buy these delicate, bright
Rainbow-tinted circles of light?
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Why is love so blind, like darkness in the evening?
Love is the only journey with two endings.
Us,
With naturally red hair
Remind those of flames dancing in the wind,
Autumn leaves ablaze with colour,
And Sunsets painting the sky in hues of red and orange ,
