Collected Poems VOLUME 2 THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SRI AUROBINDO Rose, I have loved Rose, I have loved thy beauty, as I love The dress that thou hast worn, the transient grass, O’er which thy happy careless footsteps move, The yet-thrilled waysides that have watched thee pass. Soul, I have loved thy sweetness as men love The necessary air they crave to breathe, The sunlight lavished from the skies above, And firmness of the earth their steps beneath. But were that beauty all, my love might cease Like love of weaker spirits; were’t thy charm And grace of soul, mine might with age decrease Or find in Death a silence and a term, But rooted in the unnameable in thee Shall triumph and transcend eternity
