SRI AUROBINDO

Collected Poems

SHORT POEMS — 1930-1950

Who art thou that camest

Who art thou that camest

Bearing the occult Name,

Wings of regal darkness

Eyes of an unborn flame?
 

Like the august uprising

Of a forgotten sun

Out of the caverned midnight

Fire-trails of wonder run.
 

Captured the heart renouncing

Tautness of passion-worn strings

Allows the wide-wayed sweetness

Of free supernal things.
