Poems
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.
THEME/S
Ye weeping poplars by the shelvy slope From murmurous lawns downdropping to the stream On whom the dusk air like a sombre dream Broods and a twilight ignorant of hope, Say what compulsion drear has bid you seam Your mossy sides with drop on eloquent drop That in warm rillets from your eyes elope?
Page 42
Is it for the too patient, sure decay Pale-gilded Autumn, aesthete of the years, A gorgeous death, a fading glory wears That thus along its tufted, downy way Creeps slothfully this ooze of amber tears, And thus with tearful gusts your branches sway Sighing a requiem to your emerald day?
