Let My Country Awake

where the mind is withour fear
and the head is held high
where knowledge is free
where the world has not been broken
into fragments by narrow domestic walls

where words come out from the depth of truth
where tireless striving stretches its arms
towards prefection;

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-lasting thought and action
into that heaven of freedom, my father
LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE

By Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore

"one day, I dream of writing a poem like this"
