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.

On the Mountains

Immense retreats of silence and of gloom,
    Hills of a sterile grandeur, rocks that sublime
In bareness seek the blue sky's infinite room
    With their coeval snows untouched by Time!

I seek your solemn spaces! Let me at last
    Forgotten of thought through days immemorable
Voiceless and needless keep your refuge vast,
    Growing into the peace in which I dwell.

For like that Soul unmade you seem to brood
    Who sees all things emerge but none creates,
Watching the ages from His solitude,
    Lone, unconcerned, remote. You to all Fates

Offer an unchanged heart, unmoved abide,
    Wordless, acceptant, sovereignly still.
There is a soul in us as silent, wide,
    Mere, uncreative, imperturbable.
