Great Regulars: The speaker informs his soul,

"there is a country." But then the metaphorical use of "country" becomes apparent when he says this country is located "[f]ar beyond the stars." The reader then realizes the metaphysical nature of the dramatic acknowledgment.

Each day is filled with duties one must perform just to get through the day: eating, tidying one's home, caring for family members exemplify some of those activities that are required and therefore must be considered "duties."

And of course, one of the most profoundly important duties is the earning of money to support the upkeep of the body and the home and the family. The speaker acknowledges that much of one's labor is "dollar-strife."
