Answers
Answer:
In the poem “ The Bird Sanctuary”, the poet Sarojini Naidu evokes the delightful imagery of different kinds of birds living happily in a sanctuary. There are birds of varying colours – from amber and ebony to jade green and sapphire blue. Small birds like the bulbul and the oriole fly around happily. There are colourful birds like the kingfisher and wandering birds like the gull. The pigeons are trying to build a home while the parrots are out to eat ripe figs.
The poet portrays the bird sanctuary as a gracious and generous place where all kinds of birds live freely and joyfully. She ends the poem with a prayer to God asking him to grant shelter to a homing bird with a broken wing.
This beautiful poem is an allegory to a safe place in Nature where all kinds of people can live freely and happily. The poet’s prayer to God asking for shelter for a “homing bird with broken wings” is in fact a prayer for herself. She longs for a resting place and solace from her pain, and prays to God to provide her shelter in his sanctuary.
