Rabindranath Tagore has written many poems. The most well known collection of his poems is Gitanjali, for which he received a Nobel Price in literature in 1913. I am not sure, how many different poems by Rabindranath you need for your analysis. I am reproducing below one of his very popular poem written in English.
Let My Country Awake
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 the 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.
