Analysis of I said
I told the housewife-
Be kind!
She didn't listen,
Unwanted pain scrambled in the heart.
I said to the earth-
Why hesitate!
I can't stand it anymore,
Can't see all those closed doors.
I told the night-
Get some sleep!
I am very tired of passing sleepless hours,
So in a trembling foot, I am moving, stopping, stopping.
I told the boat-
Take me to the shore!
It left with the other visitors, but me,
What sacrificial fire entered into the heart.
Thereafter-
I sat down in awe,
The moon appeared at the end of daytime,
Remained exhaled by the clamors of grigs.
