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 Silver Call

Know more >

There is a godhead of unrealised things
    To which Time's splendid gains are hoarded dross;
A cry seems near, a rustle of silver wings
    Calling to heavenly joy by earthly loss.

All eye has seen and all the ear has heard
    Is a pale illusion by some greater voice
And mightier vision; no sweet sound or word,
    No passion of hues that make the heart rejoice

Can equal those diviner ecstasies.
    A Mind beyond our mind has sole the ken
Of those yet unimagined harmonies,
    The fate and privilege of unborn men.

As rain-thrashed mire the marvel of the rose,
Earth waits that distant marvel to disclose.
