Explanation:
Whitman opens his poem by telling us he hears all of America singing, and that every person has his or her own song - much like every person has his or her own story to tell.
He discusses regular people going about their daily activities: mechanics and carpenters, a mason singing to and from work, and even members of a boat crew, varied as they are, going about their jobs and each belting out his own song.
Shoemakers, hatters, wood-cutters, and ploughboys all get a mention. They each bring different perspectives to their varying fields of work, whether it's the day's starting time or time to go home.
Even mothers and wives are recognized for the unique roles and responsibilities they have and the songs they carry with them as they go about caring for the home or engaging in the workplace.
The overarching idea of the poem is that each person has a role and a voice that belongs only to that person, but when added to the roles and voices of all other Americans, helps piece together the puzzle that is America.
All the singers, Whitman says, have a place - whether it's during the daytime or the night. The songs of the everyday American are loud, strong, and beautiful
