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.

O Life, thy Breath is but a Cry

O Life, thy breath is but a cry to the Light
Immortal, whence has come thy swift delight,
        Thy grasp.

All things in vain thy hands seize;
Earth's music fails, the notes cease
        Or rasp.

Aloud thou callst to blind Fate,
"Remove the bar, the gold gate
        Unhasp."

But never hast thou the goal yet of thy race
Neared, nor thrilled with the ineffable Face,
        The clasp.
