Introduction

Sarojini Naidu, born as Sarojini Chattopadhyaya, known by the sobriquet as The Nightingale of India, was a child prodigy, Indian independence activist and poet.
She was the first Indian woman to become the president of the Indian National Congress and the first woman to become the Governor of an Indian state. Besides being a poet, she was a national worker who took part in the Indian Independence movement and took part in Mahatma Gandhi’s Salt March to Dandi. Though a Bengali, she was born at Hyderabad. When she was twelve years old she got through the matriculation examination winning the first rank. Thereafter she studied at King’s College in London and Girton College, Cambridge. She was proficient in English, Urdu, Telugu, Bengali and Persian. She married Dr. Govindarajulu Naidu, when she was nineteen.

As it was an inter- caste marriage, it was forbidden in those days, but she lived happily with him and had four children. She died of heart attack on 2, March, 1949. Sarojini Naidu’s works include “The Golden Threshold” (1905), “The Bird of Time” (1912) and “The Burden Wing” (1917). She was awarded the title “Bharat Kokila” (the Nightingale of India) by Rabindranath
Tagore for her melodious rhythmic poetry dealing with Indian myth, the mountains, rivers and temples in India.“The Quest” is from “The Feather of the Dawn” published after her death by her daughter Padmaja Naidu.

Paraphrase
The poem is about the incomparable love of Radha and Krishna. Radha is searching
for her beloved Kanhaya. She asked the wind about him. But she could not find her. At the time of noon she asked the forest about him, under whose shade he used to take rest. At the late evening she enquire d the grey coloured tide about the dwelling place of her dear flute player. The waters, the wind and the woods remained dumb for her each questions. None of them knew about him. She carried her crying face in her arms. She kept weeping- where her Ghanashyam has gone.
