APPRECIATION (4)
Read the extract and write as per the instruction given below.
Weavers, weaving at break of day,
Why do you weave a garment so gay?
Blue as the wing of a halcyon wild,
We weave the robes of a new- born child.
Weavers, weaving at fall of night,
Why do you weave a garment so bright ?
Like the plumes of a peacock purple and green,
We weave the marriage veils of a queen.
Weavers, weaving solemn and still,
What do you weave in the moonlight chill?
White as a feather and white as a cloud,
We weave a dead man’s funeral shroud.

Answer:
The poem is written by Sarojini Naidu, where she has talked about three types of dresses that the Indian Weavers weave at three particular times of the day and has linked the stages of man’s life with these garments.
This poem shows a discussion between the poetess and the weavers where she asks the weavers and the latter reply. Below are given its question & answers. I have also shared Indian Weavers Stanza Wise Summary and Palanquin Bearers Stanza-Wise Summary as well which is written by Sarojini Naidu only.
