that was a pretty good poem, i didnt like the rhyme scheme to it but i did
like the meaning that the whole world is singing and needs to be joyous for
what we do have, for some have nothing.

This poem is clearly about achieving the American dream. Everyone is
working from nothing to become something. They are singing in unison. They
are all happy about playing their part to build up america. In Langston's
hughes I, Too he includes himself and represents for the black community as
well. I believe that whitman wasn't trying to make racism an issue. He was
just commenting on the American dream.

"he founded a "free soil" newspaper, the "Brooklyn Freeman". / "returns to
Brooklyn and edits The Brooklyn Freeman." / "He resigned from his position
in 1848 because his stand against slavery was too strong for the paper's
owners."
That would imply that he's against slavery. Please, do some research before
you form an opinion on a topic you don't know anything about.
To me, this poem is Whitman's idea of what America should be: everyone is
content with the life they have. No matter what class the people are of,
they do not wish to have more, nor do they flaunt off what they have. The
"singing" is just a way to say that the people's spirits are high. "Singing
with open mouths" means they are proud to say that they are content with
their lives whether they be carpenters or woodcutters.

First of all I must say VERY WELL SAID GARRETT!!! (Comment No. 42) because
I have noticed there are a few illiterate commenters on here, who obviously
have no love for the art of poetry and must read poetry only in order to
pass a course. So in closing, if you do not understand the concept of
poetry and have no skills of analysing properly, please keep your
negativity to yourself and read content that is at your level.

IF you match up the lines it comes close to an Alabama song, "40 Hour
Week". They both deal with the middle-class working man, the machines, and
mechanics. It's intresting to compare the two.
