35
在那里,心无畏惧,头颅高昂;
在那里,求知自由;
在那里,世界没有被国家的窄墙分隔成碎片;
在那里,言语源自真理深处;
在那里,不懈的奋斗向完美伸出双臂;
在那里,理性的清泉没有迷失在积弊的荒漠;
在那里,心在你的指引下走向不断拓宽的思想和行动——进入那自由的天国,天父啊,请让我的国家觉醒。
英文原文:
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.
