Where the Mind is Without Fear
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 sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into everwidening thought and action .... Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
Let my country awake.
RABINDRANATH TAGORE
