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 Island Sun

Know more >

I have sailed the golden ocean
    And crossed the silver bar;
I have reached the Sun of knowledge,
    The earth-self's midnight star.

Its fields of flaming vision,
    Its mountains of bare might,
Its peaks of fiery rapture,
    Its air of absolute light,

Its seas of self-oblivion,
    Its vales of Titan rest,
Became my soul's dominion,
    Its Island of the Blest.

Alone with God and silence,
    Timeless it lived in Time;
Life was His fugue of music,
    Thought was Truth's ardent rhyme.

The Light was still around me
    When I came back to earth
Bringing the Immortal's knowledge
    Into man's cave of birth.
