In the context of the entire poem, how does this line illuminate the speaker’s view of the american identity?

The speaker envisions the American identity as unifed yet diverse. The phrase "varied carols" describes an America that shares a common vision but also has different modes for achieving that goal. Americans are singing together, but each person is singing his or her own "varied carol" of the American song.
