Where the mind is without fear
And the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken
up into fragments by narrow domestic walls
Where the words come out from
the depth of the truth
Where tireless striving stretches
its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into
the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
into overwhelming thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom
my father, let my country awake!
~ Rabindranath Tagore ~
