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.

The Blue Bird

Know more >

I am the bird of God in His blue;
    Divinely high and clear
I sing the notes of the sweet and the true
    For the god's and the seraph's ear.

I rise like a fire from the mortal's earth
    Into a griefless sky
And drop in the suffering soil of his birth
    Fire-seeds of ecstasy.

My pinions soar beyond Time and Space
    Into unfading Light;
I bring the bliss of the Eternal's face
    And the boon of the Spirit's sight.

I measure the worlds with my ruby eyes;
    I have perched on Wisdom's tree
Thronged with the blossoms of Paradise
    By the streams of Eternity.

Nothing is hid from my burning heart;
    My mind is shoreless and still;
My song is rapture's mystic art,
    My flight immortal will.
