Read the poem "i hear america singing" by walt whitman.
i hear america singing, the varied carols i hear;
those of mechanics—each one singing his, as it should be, blithe and strong;
the carpenter singing his, as he measures his plank or beam,
the mason singing his, as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work;
the boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat—the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck;
the shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench—the hatter singing as he stands;
the wood-cutter's song—the ploughboy's, on his way in the morning, or at the noon intermission, or at sundown;
the delicious singing of the mother—or the young wife at work—or of the girl sewing or washing—each singing what belongs to her, and to none else;
the day what belongs to the day—at night, the party of young fellows, robust, friendly,
singing, with open mouths, their strong melodious songs.

Explanation:

In the poem "I Hear America Singing", the speaker describes what, in his opinion, constitutes America: the working class. He does not describe the working class as weak or suffering people, though. They are strong, and so is the carol they sing. Each one, be it the mechanic, the seamstress, the mason... each one of them sings a unique song, a song of their own individuality. At the same time, however, it is that song that unites them, it is what they have in common. Their happiness, their strength, and their drive are beautifully expressed by their singing.
