"THOUGHTS OF THE DAY"
My Country Awake
Where the mind is without fear and 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 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 the heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
