Description acceptable. In the last full stanza of this poem, “light breaks over the peaks of the Eastern hills” and “the morning breeze carries the breath of new life.” James and Margaret Cousins helped popularize this poem while at Besant Theosophical College. In this poem, an “Eternal Charioteer” points the path to a “procession of pilgrims” along an “endless road.” This poem is addressed to a “dispenser of... (*) destiny.” In translation, this “morning song” begins with the line “Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people,” and proclaims “Victory, victory, victory to thee.” This poem with a rhyming title shares its author and genre with “Amar Sonar Bangla.” For 10 points, name this Rabindranath Tagore poem whose musical version is often played in Delhi movie theaters. ■END■
ANSWER: “Jana Gana Mana” [or Indian national anthem; accept descriptions like the national anthem of India; accept “Bharoto Bhagyo Bidhata”; accept “Morning Song of India” until “morning song” is read, but prompt after; prompt on national anthem; reject “national song of India” or “Vande Mataram”]
