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.
THEME/S

Since Thou hadst all eternity to amuse, O sculptor of the living shapes of earth, O dramatist of death and life and birth, World-artist revelling in forms and hues,
Hast Thou shaped the marvel of the whirling spheres, A scientist passing Nature through his tubes, And played with numbers, measures, theorems, cubes, O mathematician Mind that never errs,
Building a universe from Thy theories? Protean is Thy spirit of delight, Craftsman minute and architect of might, World-adept of a thousand mysteries.
Or forged some deep Necessity, not Thy whim, Fate and Inconscience and the net of Time?
