Answer 2

Answer:

The poet has used effective colour imagery in the poem.For example, she chooses silver,blue and pink hues to represent maidenhood;yellow for bridal morning and red or orange for the bridal night(representation of the passionate longing in the heart of the bride); and purple and gold for motherhood to represent a women’s feelings of pride and fulfillment of her married life.

Most images come from the world of nature. Flowers, leaves, buds, streams, sunlit corn, etc. have been used as comparisons.This is quite usual with the poets of Naidu’s age, at least in Indian context. The radical modern-day imagery is missing in Naidu’s poem, and is perhaps unsuitable for her sensibility.
