Where the mind is without fear

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

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.
