Where the Mind Is Without FearRabindranath Tagore

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 depth 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.
