I Hear America Singing

by Walt Whitman


In this poem, Whitman honors the American work ethic. He describes how the voices of individual citizens come together in unison to represent the pride and joy Americans take in their work. At the same time, this blend of different voices into one is symbolic of American patriotism.


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

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 him or 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.Which details belong in an effective summary of “I Hear America Singing”?

The details that would make an effective summary of the poem was that American workers are individuals and part of a collective group, Americans find joy in work and productivity.

Thus, we can say that the second and third answer options would make a good summary of the poem, while the first and last answer options would not be a good summary of the poem.

We can arrive at this answer as follows:

  • The poem shows how happy the American people are in hard, honest work.
  • For this reason, Americans are partying, smiling, and singing as the work builds them up.
  • In addition, the poem shows that Americans form a single people and are always in harmony, but they are individual beings, where each one has its own function.

The poet does not claim that the American people are demanding, nor is this poem a portrait of real life, but it is something subjective, part of the poet's idealized interpretation of life and people.
