India must be proud of this very talented poetess.Her marriage was very happy though not married with her own caste. Her father had broken with the tradtion, since he loves his super intelligent daughter

Lightly, O lightly we glide and we sing, We bear her along like a pearl on a string.

Together with Gandhi and Tagore, she has fought for the Freedom of India. A very remarkable woman of so many gifts. My highest appreciation and deepest respect for her person.

I love this poem. I forgot about it until I saw it here. I would love to try to translate it into Italia.

Readers profusely admire the structure, the flow and the rhythm of this poem. The striking lines: "Gaily, O gaily we glide and we sing/We bear her along like a pearl on a string" is the hallmark of Indian English literature. the Nightingale of India.
