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.

When the heart tires and the throb stills recalling Things that were once and again can be never, When the bow falls and the drawn string is broken, Hands that were clasped, yet for ever are parted,
When the soul passes to new births and bodies, Lands never seen and meetings with new faces, Is the bow raised and the fall'n arrow fitted, Acts that were vain rewedded to the Fate-curve?
To the lives sundered can Time bring rejoining, Love that was slain be reborn with the body? In the mind null, from the heart's chords rejected, Lost to the sense, but the spirit remembers!
