GITANJALI

PRESENTED BY
ADAMYA SHYAM
A Para of Gitanjali
"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 lead forward by
thee
into ever-widening thought and
action-
Into that heaven of freedom, my
Father,
let my country awake."
