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 Witness Spirit

Know more >

I dwell in the spirit's calm nothing can move
    And watch the actions of Thy vast world-force,
Its mighty wings that through infinity move
    And the Time-gallopings of the deathless Horse.

This mute stupendous Energy that whirls
    The stars and nebulae in its long train,
Like a huge Serpent through my being curls
    With its diamond hood of joy and fangs of pain.

It rises from the dim inconscient deep
    Upcoiling through the minds and hearts of men,
Then touches on some height of luminous sleep
    The bliss and splendour of the eternal plane.

All this I bear in me, untouched and still,
Assenting to Thy all-wise inscrutable will.
