Tagore Hymns....

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 fragmentsby 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 wayinto the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by Thee into ever-wideningthought and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,let my country awake.
