Analysis #2

I am lonely here

In this place, not knowing English

It is not what I have been accustomed to.

My neighbors and I

Used to chat at length together;

Here I see only scoundrels,

And I do not understand their language.

I am offended at my relatives

Who came before me;

They did not tell me about this place

And how it has tried them.

Going through the wilderness

There is nothing but blazed trail

This is truly a lonesome place

For one who lives by himself.

A matter of grave concern ,

As you may surmise,

Is the want to footwear and clothing

For each one who needs them.

No one can procure anything

Unless he wrest it from the forest.

The length of winter is depressing;

It is fully half one’s lifetime…

We left there

And came out here

Thinking it would receive consideration,

And that the rent would not be so exacting.

But Peters is oppressing us,

And, if he doesn’t die we must leave this place.
