4 Independence Day Rhyming Poem For Kids
1. 'To India' By Sarojini Naidu
“The nations that in fettered darkness weep
Crave thee to lead them where great mornings break . . . .
Mother, O Mother, wherefore dost thou sleep?
Arise and answer for thy children’s sake!
Thy Future calls thee with a manifold sound
To crescent honours, splendours, victories vast;
Waken, O slumbering Mother and be crowned,
Who once was the empress of the sovereign Past.”
2. 'Where The Mind Is Without Fear' By 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 toward perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habits
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.”

3. 'My India' By Swami Yogananda Paramhansa
“Better than Heaven or Arcadia
I love thee, O my India!
And thy love I shall give
To every brother nation that lives.
God made the Earth;
Man-made confining countries
And their fancy-frozen boundaries.
But with unfound boundless love
I behold the borderland of my India
Expanding into the World.
Hail, mother of religions, lotus, scenic beauty, and sages!
Thy wide doors are open,
Welcoming God's true sons through all ages.
Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, and
men dream God - I am hallowed; my body touched that sod.”

4. 'Soaring Dream' By A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
“Fabulous air show of Paris in motion
My thoughts too in flight and yearns for my Nation (Flag Protocol)
When will the planes designed in my land
Pierce the sky as lightening in action
And gracefully land as angels in full boom
All to the envy of spellbound spectators
Yes, we can !!
When we are united in action and addicted to deeds
Sky can’t be limit for my nation in action !!”
