Where
the Mind Is Without Fear
by Rabindranath Tagore
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 words
come out from the depths of truth
Where tireless
striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the
clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sands of dead habit
Where the
mind is led forward by Thee into ever-widening
thought and action
Into that
heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
