don’t get food at that time.

So, he wants to say that foreigners who belong to another country and
we, both are same. And then the poet says that even their hands are
same as ours, they work very hard just like we do. He is giving all these
examples to covey to the reader that there is no difference in us and the
people belonging to another country.

Remember they have eyes like ours that wake
Or sleep, and strength that can be won
By love. In every land is common life
That all can recognise and understand.

The poet asks the reader to remember something. He says that we
should keep in mind that the people of another country, whom we think
to be our enemies, have been bestowed by God with similar appearance
like us. God has given them eyes like ours which open when awake and
close when we are asleep. Similarly, he has given them strength which
we can win through love. Then he says that in every country, in every
land there is one common thing that is life.

Life means all the things that are living. And if we can recognize them
and if we can understand their feelings and realize that they are like us,
then there will be no fights or wars between us.
