Sri Aurobindo

This volume consists of all poems in English including sonnets, lyrical poems, narrative poems, and metrical experiments in various forms. All such poems published by Sri Aurobindo during his lifetime are included here, as well as poems found among his manuscripts after his passing. Sri Aurobindo worked on these poems over the course of seven decades. The first one was published in 1883 when he was ten; a number of poems were written or revised more than sixty years later, in the late 1940s.

A Child's Imagination

Know more >

O thou golden image,
    Miniature of bliss,
Speaking sweetly, speaking meetly!
    Every word deserves a kiss.

Strange, remote and splendid
    Childhood's fancy pure
Thrills to thoughts we cannot fathom,
    Quick felicities obscure.

When the eyes grow solemn
    Laughter fades away,
Nature of her mighty childhood
    Recollects the Titan play;

Woodlands touched by sunlight
    Where the elves abode,
Giant meetings, Titan greetings,
    Fancies of a youthful God.

These are coming on thee
    In thy secret thought;
God remembers in thy bosom
    All the wonders that He wrought.
