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 dock;
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 of the young wife
at work - or of the girl sewing or washing - Each singing
what belongs to her, and to none else;
