Let my country awake - Rabindranath Tagore (poem)


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 the 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.
