Song

Where the mind is without fear,
and the heart is held high,
Where the world is not broken up into fragments
by narrow domestic walls,
Where the words came 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 habits,
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
