Where the Mind is Without Fear poem by Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore

Where the Mind is Without Fear

Rabindranath Tagore

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 came out from the depth of truth

Where tireless striving stretches it's 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.
