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.

Who was it that came to me in a boat made of dream-fire, With his flame brow and his sun-gold body? Melted was the silence into a sweet secret murmur, "Do you come now? is the heart's fire ready?"
Hidden in the recesses of the heart something shuddered. It recalled all that the life's joy cherished, Imaged the felicity it must leave lost for ever, And the boat passed and the gold god vanished.
Now within the hollowness of the world's breast inhabits— For the love died and the old joy ended— Void of a felicity that has fled, gone for ever, And the gold god and the dream boat come not.
