Rabindranath Tagore
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;
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
Meaning
Tagore prayer for an awakened and free India.

Rabindranath Tagore
Where dost thou stand behind them all, my lover,
hidden in the shadows of their successive masks?
Seeking me in dark corners they do not know that
I am with them all.
Meaning
God is present everywhere even when we do not recognize.

Rabindranath Tagore
The sleep that flits on baby's eyes - does anybody know where it was born?
It is faint like the yellow moonlight in a thin cloud,
It smells like a half-blown jasmine flower in the dusk.
It has a shadow that dances on the cradle leaves.
Meaning
The mysterious origin of a baby sleep.
