passage


1 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,


5 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


10 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,


15 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.
