Holy And Wise

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 
death of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its
arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreay
desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by
thee into every - widening thought and action -

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
let my country awake.

- Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore
Geethanjali
