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.

Flame-Wind

Know more >

    A flame-wind ran from the gold of the east,
Leaped on my soul with the breath of a sevenfold noon.
    Wings of the angel, gallop of the beast!
Mind and body on fire, but the heart in swoon.

    O flame, thou bringest the strength of the noon,
But where are the voices of morn and the stillness of eve?
    Where the pale-blue wine of the moon?
Mind and life are in flower, but the heart must grieve.

    Gold in the mind and the life-flame's red
Make of the heavens a splendour, the earth a blaze,
    But the white and rose of the heart are dead.
Flame-wind, pass! I will wait for Love in the silent ways.
