Where the Mind Is Without Fear
A 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 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
In to 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.
