HEAVEN OF FREEDOM
Where the mind is without fear and the head is
held high
where the knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up
in fragments.
By narrow domestic walls.
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward
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 toward by thee
Into ever widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my father let my
country awake.
-Rabindranath Tagore
