Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not gold, but only people can make it.
A great and powerful nation;
For truth and honor
Persevere and endure long-term pain.
Brave people work while others sleep,
When others fly, who dares;
They have deeply established the pillars of a country.
Lift them to the sky.
The power of the country
Not gold, only the people can make the nation great and powerful;
For truth, for honor,
They are determined and have gone through hardships.
They are fearless, others sleep, work,
It is brave for others to run away from them;
They deeply buried the pillars of the country,
And hold up the stone pillars to support the sky.

Comment on The Power of a Country
The power of a country was written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American poet, who is both a poet and a representative of transcendentalist writers. In this poem, he enthusiastically praised the backbone of a great nation, who fought and worked selflessly and fearlessly for truth and honor.
This poem clearly shows the great image of the backbone of this nation: for truth and honor, they stand tenaciously and endure long-term pain, and they work while others sleep. Therefore, they established a pillar of a country and made a nation strong. After reading this poem, I am determined to be a member of the national backbone when I grow up.
Although this poem is short, it expresses profound ideas. The language of this poem is simple, but its rhythm and rhyme are not only beautiful, but also easy to read aloud and recite.
