The poetic world of Sarojini Naidu built around the themes of Nature, love, life, and folk projects a consistently joyous universe, reconstructed out of her own emotional life and supported by the images and symbols of human aspiration and hope. Her poems show a sensitive awareness of the progression of life towards the immutable coordination of Truth, Beauty and Joy. In her poetry, the lyric appeal is wonderful and full of the magic of melody. She sings of Indian myths, festivals and rituals. She speaks of the events of day to day life in an enchanting voice.

This can be seen at the end of the poem which states, “No,’ she said, ‘bring me tree-grubs”. This young girl wants a functional, practical love, simple love where her dream husband is providing for her the basics and necessities of life, where love is not represented through materialistic objects. On the contrary, the second line of stanza one, from The Child wife, states, “Life’s smile of promise, so soon to frown.” This is evident that the young girl who is present in this poem, is talking about her life which is now miserable, by being chosen to marry an old man. It enables the reader to feel guilty and sorrow for this young girl as she did not get a chance to have her say but rather was forced to marry the old man when she got chosen by him.

Harjo also demonstrates this when she writes “It is here that children are given instructions on what it means to be human.”
