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 ever widening
thought and action ;
Into that heaven of freedom,
my father,
let my country awake.
- Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)
