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.

When in the heart of the valleys and hid by the roses
    The sweet Love lies,
Has he wings to rise to his heavens or in the closes
    Lives and dies?

On the peaks of the radiant mountains if we should meet him
    Proud and free,
Will he not frown on the valleys? Would it befit him
    Chained to be?

Will you then speak of the one as a slave and a wanton,
    The other too bare?
But God is the only slave and the only monarch
    We declare.

It is God who is Love and a boy and a slave for our passion
    He was made to serve;
It is God who is free and proud and the limitless tyrant
    Our souls deserve.
