Since all the troubles that encircle and impact him
Are external in nature and not penetrate within,
The damage he suffers will not be gravely lethal.
Yes, his troubles depress him from outside,
As he is not yet affected fatally from inside;
Hence his survival in difficulties of the cold.
Upon returning home, he faces decease of the year
When all things come to the end of an annual cycle,
Preparing for lying dormant; hence his course dying.
Denning up becomes desirable after backbreaking toil
In the autumn fields when all folks concur about
Transitoriness and frailty of the human subsistence.
