The poem "Indian Weavers" is written by Sarojini Naidu. This poem talks about the amazing work of India's famous handloom craftsmen, also known as weavers.
The poem has three stanzas, and each stanza represents a different stage of life. The main idea, or theme, of the poem is the cycle of life itself. The weavers use specific colors in their weaving that are linked to different stages: birth, marriage, and death. They weave clothes for a newborn baby, a queen-bride, and a dead man.
The whole poem is a metaphor for the cycle of life:
New life is like the dawn (morning).
Marriage is like the dusk (evening).
Death is like the night.
The poem also uses some poetic devices like simile (comparing two different things using "like" or "as") and alliteration (repeating the same sound at the beginning of words).
This poem is a tribute to the talented weavers of India and their world-famous fabrics. The poet beautifully salutes the weavers. It shows that the weavers are not only skillful but also very hard-working.
