Poems
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.

Bride of the Fire, clasp me now close,— Bride of the Fire! I have shed the bloom of the earthly rose, I have slain desire.
Beauty of the Light, surround my life,— Beauty of the Light! I have sacrificed longing and parted from grief, I can bear thy delight.
Image of ecstasy, thrill and enlace,— Image of bliss! I would see only thy marvellous face, Feel only thy kiss.
Voice of Infinity, sound in my heart,— Call of the One! Stamp there thy radiance, never to part, O living Sun.
