Question

Read the poem given below and answer the question that follows:

Not gold, but only men can make
A people great and strong;
Men who, for truth and honor's sake

Stand fast and suffer long

Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation's pillars deep,
And lift them to the sky.

Explain, "They build a nation's pillars deep'.

Answer 1

The line "they build a nation's pillars deep" refers to the men who are building the city. These men are building the pillars of the nation that not only stop at buildings and towers, but the administration of the nation, and performing all functions that are required to keep the nation strong. They include the soldiers of the nation, the government that runs the nation and the men who practice medicine and provide their services to the ill and wounded. Apart from these professions, all those men who put in their heart and soul for the welfare of the nation are building the pillars of the nation.
