“SHE” (The Sweet heroic beauty)

 

B. Indira Kumari

 

Her eyes were sweet and smiling

With solemnity their in reigning.

She stood in all loveliness

But supported within by manliness

So gentle was her sweet tone

But in its depth rumbled determination.

 

Her words were not so eloquent

Yet were with deep sense pregnant.

An ordinary woman she seemed to be

But great personality in reality was she,

Like a fair flower blooming

And sweet perfume spreading

And from beneath the leaves shyly looking out

Gently she peeped into the light,

But like an arrow from the womb of spirit

Sometimes flashed out from her place of secret;

She was the manly courage no doubt

In the soft sweet womanliness manifest.

To give birth to many a hero

Or herself to act as a hero.

Ah! she proved “woman is the bosom

Whence comes forth true heroism”
