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.

I am swallowed in a foam-white sea of bliss, I am a curving wave of God's delight, A shapeless flow of happy passionate light, A whirlpool of the streams of Paradise. I am a cup of His felicities, A thunderblast of His golden ecstasy's might, A fire of joy upon creation's height; I am His rapture's wonderful abyss.
I am drunken with the glory of the Lord, I am vanquished by the beauty of the Unborn; I have looked alive on the Eternal's face. My mind is cloven by His radiant sword, My heart by His beatific touch is torn, My life is a meteor-dust of His flaming Grace.
