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.

Index of First Lines

A bare impersonal hush is now my mind 609
A conscious and eternal Power is here 62
A deep enigma is the soul of man 589
A dumb Inconscient drew life's stumbling maze 596
A face on the cold dire mountain peaks 548
A far sail on the unchangeable monotone . . . 553
A flame-wind ran from the gold of the east 574
A godhead moves us to unrealised things 595
A gold moon-raft floats and swings slowly 563
A golden evening, when the thoughtful sun 216
A life of intensities wide, immune 549
A naked and silver-pointed star 548
A noon of Deccan with its tyrant glare 295
A perfect face amid barbarian faces 16
A strong son of lightning came down . . . 670
A tree beside the sandy river-beach 207
A trifling unit in a boundless plan 593
After six hundred years did Fate intend 18
After unnumbered steps of a hill-stair 622
All are deceived, do what the One Power dictates 626
All here is Spirit self-moved eternally 597
All is abolished but the mute Alone 561
All is not finished in the unseen decree 595
All my cells thrill swept by a surge of splendour 578
All Nature is taught in radiant ways to move 601
All sounds, all voices have become Thy voice 622
An irised multitude of hills and seas 562
Arise now, tread out the fire 665
Arise, tread out the fire 666
Arisen to voiceless unattainable peaks 618
Aroused from Matter's sleep when Nature strove 598

Page 743

Artist of cosmos wrapped in thy occult shadow 671
As some bright archangel in vision flies 562
At last I find a meaning of soul's birth 608
At the way's end when the shore raised up . . . 579
Awake, awake, O sleeping men of Troy 189
Because Thou art All-beauty and All-bliss 623
Because thy flame is spent, shall mine grow less 179
Behold, by Maya's fantasy of will 639
Bride of the Fire, clasp me now close 532
Brilliant, crouching, slouching . . . 583
Bugles of Light, bugles of Light . . . 673
Child of the infant years, Euphrosyne 187
Cool may you find the youngling grass, my herd 189
Councillors, friends, Rai Bahadoors and others 267
Cry of the ocean's surges . . . 653
Dawn in her journey eternal . . . 335
Day and night begin, you tell me 219
Death wanders through our lives at will . . . 219
Do you remember, Love, that sunset pale 28
Each sight is now immortal with Thy bliss 623
Flame that invadest my empire of sorrow . . . 666
From the quickened womb of the primal gloom 5
Glory and greatness and the joy of life 321
God to thy greatness 675
Goddess, supreme Mother of Dream . . . 273
Gold-white wings a throb in the vastness . . . 547
Hail to the fallen, the fearless . . . 676
Hark in the trees the low-voiced nightingale 186
He is in me, round me, facing everywhere 620
He said, "I am egoless, spiritual, free," 620

Page 744

Hearken, Ganges, hearken . . . 256
Here in the green of the forest . . . 680
How hast thou lost, O month of honey . . . 34
However long Night's hour, I will not dream 602
I am a single Self all Nature fills 619
I am filled with the crash of war . . . 679
I am greater than the greatness of the seas 626
I am held no more by life's alluring cry 606
I am swallowed in a foam-white sea of bliss 616
I am the bird of God in His blue 533
I cannot equal those most absolute eyes 177
I contain the wide world in my soul's embrace 601
I dreamed that in myself the world I saw 204
I dwell in the spirit's calm nothing can move 602
I face earth's happenings with an equal soul 612
I have a doubt, I have a doubt which kills 181
I have a hundred lives before me yet 180
I have become what before Time I was 610
I have discovered my deep deathless being 612
I have drunk deep of God's own liberty 625
I have gathered my dreams in a silver air 534
I have sailed the golden ocean 638
I have thrown from me the whirling dance of mind 604
I have wrapped the wide world in my wider self 603
I heard a foghorn shouting at a sheep 658
I heard the coockcouck jabbering on the lea 659
I housed within my heart the life of things 605
I look across the world and no horizon . . . 637
I looked for Thee alone, but met my glance 624
I made an assignation with the Night 603
I made danger my helper and chose pain . . . 670
I passed into a lucent still abode 594
I sat behind the dance of Danger's hooves 607
I saw my soul a traveller through Time 615
I saw the electric stream on which is run 596
I shall not die 215

Page 745

I walked beside the waters of a world of light 668
I walked on the high-wayed Seat of Solomon 621
If I had wooed thee for thy colour rare 206
If now must pause the bullocks' jingling tune 237
If perfect moments on the peak of things 616
If thou wouldst traverse Time with vagrant feet 189
Immense retreats of silence and of gloom 261
Immortal, moveless, calm, alone, august 279
In a flaming as of spaces 650
In a mounting as of sea-tides . . . 636
In a town of gods, housed in a little shrine 608
In Bagdad by Euphrates, Asia's river 147
In gleam Konarak Konarak of the Gods 672
In god-years yet unmeasured by a man's thought . . . 632
In Manipur upon her orient hills 311
In occult depths grow Nature's roots unshown 598
In some faint dawn 650
In the blue of the sky, in the green of the forest 201
In the ending of time, in the sinking of space 650
In the silence of the midnight . . . 679
In the silence of the night-time 538
In us is the thousandfold Spirit who is one 611
In woodlands of the bright and early world 113
Into the Silence, into the Silence 581
Is this the end of all that we have been 643
Life, death, death, life; the words . . . 216
Light, endless Light! darkness has room no more 618
Like a white statue made of lilies 47
Lone on my summits of calm . . . 573
Lorsque rein n'existait, l'amour existait 686
Love, a moment drop thy hands 23
Love, but my words are vain as air 209
Many boons the new years make us 186
Me whom the purple mead that Bromius owns 22
Moulded of twilight and the vesper star 188

Page 746

Mute stands she, lonely on the topmost stair 639
My breath runs in a subtle rhythmic stream 561
My life is then a wasted ereme 41
My life is wasted like a lamp ablaze 178
My mind, my soul grow larger than all Space 617
My soul arose at dawn and, listening, heard 203
My soul regards its veiled subconscient base 621
My way is over the Moro river 660
Mystic daughter of Delight 541
Nala, Nishadha's king, paced by a stream 521
Nala, Nishadha's king, paced by a stream 525
Not in annihilation lost, nor given 282
Not soon is God's delight in us completed 213
Now I have borne Thy presence and Thy light 600
Now lilies blow upon the windy height 22
Now more and more the Epiphany within 613
O Boers, you have dared much and much endured 247
O co, honied envoy of the spring 15
O desolations vast, O seas of space 324
O face that I have loved until no face 177
O grey wild sea 207
O heart, my heart, a heavy pain is thine 32
O immense Light and thou . . . 637
O joy of gaining all the soul's desire 509
O lady Venus, shine on me 188
O letter dull and cold, how can she read 178
O Life, thy breath is but a cry to the Light 651
O love, what more shall I, shall Radha speak 32
O pale and guiding light, now star unsphered 17
O pall of black Night painted with still gold stars 649
O plaintive, murmuring reed, begin thy strain 26
O soul who com'st fire-mantled from the earth 673
O thou golden image 211
O Thou of whom I am the instrument 611
O Will of God that stirrest and the Void 520

Page 747

O Word concealed in the upper fire 531
O worshipper of the formless Infinite 625
O ye Powers of the Supreme . . . 676
Ocean is there and evening; the slow moan 30
Of Ilion's ashes was thy sceptre made 188
Of Spring is her name for whose bud . . . 185
Often, in the slow ages' wide retreat 614
Oh, but fair was her face as she lolled . . . 649
On a dire whirlpool in the hurrying river 599
On the grey street and the lagging . . . 653
On the waters of a nameless Infinite 606
On the white summit of eternity 609
Once again thou hast climbed, O moon . . . 631
One day, and all the half-dead is done 542
One dreamed and saw a gland write Hamlet . . . 614
Out from the Silence, out from the Silence 581
Out of a seeming void and dark-winged sleep 604
Out of a still immensity we came 589
Outspread a Wave burst, a Force leaped . . . 652
Pale poems, weak and few, who vainly use 37
Patriots, behold your guerdon. This man found 17
Perfect thy motion ever within me 285
Poet, who first with skill inspired did teach 35
Pururavus from converse held with Gods 663
Pururavus from Titan conflict ceased 67
Pythian he came; repressed beneath his heel 16
Rishi who trance-held on the mountains old 220
Rose, I have loved thy beauty, as I love 180
Rose of God, vermilion stain . . . 564
Rushing from Troy like a cloud on the plains . . . 274
Seer deep-hearted, divine king of the secrecies 677
She in her garden, near the high grey wall 187
Silence is all, say the sages 644
Silence is round me, wideness ineffable 573

Page 748

Silver foam in the dim East 675
Since I have seen your face at the window, sweet 192
Since Thou hadst all eternity to amuse 613
Snow in June may break from Nature 203
So that was why I could not grasp your heart 193
Sole in the meadows of Thebes Teiresias sat . . . 519
Someone leaping from the rocks 209
Soul in the Ignorance, wake from its stupor 577
Soul, my soul, reascend over the edge of life 678
Soul, my soul, yet ascend crossing the marge of life 678
Sounds of the wakening world, the year's increase 36
Spirit Supreme 212
Stamp out, stamp out the sun from the high blue 286
Still there is something that I lack in thee 181
Strayed from the roads of Time . . . 495
Suddenly out from the wonderful East . . . 260
Sur les grands sommets blancs . . . 687
Surely I take no more an earthly food 624
Sweet is the night, sweet and cool 9
The clouds lain on forlorn spaces of sky . . . 580
The day ends lost in a stretch of even 576
The electron on which forms and worlds are built 600
The grey sea creeps half-visible, half-hushed 211
The mind of a man 635
The repetition of thy gracious years 280
The seven mountains and the seven seas 325
There are two beings in my single self 610
There is a brighter ether than this blue 627
There is a godhead of unrealised things 594
There is a kingdom of the spirit's ease 599
There is a silence greater than any known 551
There is a wisdom like a brooding Sun 607
There was an awful awful man 657
These wanderings of the suns, these stars at play 21
This body which was once my universe 617
This puppet ego the World-Mother made 615

Page 749

This strutting "I" of human self and pride 619
Thou art myself born from myself, O child 663
Thou bright choregus of the heavenly dance 47
Thou didst mistake, thy spirit's infant flight 179
Thou who controllest the wide-spuming Ocean . . . 519
Thou who pervadest all the worlds below 218
Thy golden Light came down into my brain 605
Thy tears fall fast, O mother, on its bloom 22
Thy youth is but a noon, of night take heed 210
To the hill-tops of silence . . . 649
To weep because a glorious sun has set 182
Torn are the walls and the borders carved . . . 675
Two measures are there of the cosmic dance 590
Under the high and gloomy eastern hills 165
Vain, they have said, is the anguish of man . . . 663
Vast-winged the wind ran, violent . . . 651
Vision delightful alone on the hills . . . 477
Voice of the summits, leap from thy peaks . . . 681
What is this talk of slayer and of slain 182
What mighty and ineffable desire 275
What opposites are here! A trivial life 593
What points ascending Nature to her goal 597
When in the heart of the valleys and hid . . . 40
When the heart tires and the throb stills recalling 580
Where is the man whom hope nor fear can move 43
Where is the end of your armoured march . . . 641
Where Time a sleeping dervish is 48
Who art thou in the heart comrade of man . . . 577
Who art thou that camest 635
Who art thou that roamest 255
Who was it that came to me in a boat . . . 576
Why do thy lucid eyes survey 31
Wild river in thy cataract far-rumoured . . . 575
Winged with dangerous deity 652

Page 750

With wind and the weather beating round me 201
World's delight, spring's sweetness, music's charm 194
Ye weeping poplars by the shelvy slope 42
