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.
