Abstract: Life and Death is one of the major themes of Sarojini Naidu’s poetry. Her [Naidu’s] poems on life and death are marked by optimism and heroic spirit though it is missing in all her poems on these themes as a poet cannot be as consistent as a phillosopher. She is fully aware of the challenge of suffering and pain and death to life but she is not afraid of them. Sarojini Naidu is not an escapist as revealed in ‘The Faery Isle of Janjira’ where she expresses her desire to taste the hustle bustle of life and problems
