And indeed I am a stranger among my people and my neighbors,
Though kinsmen, my people are strangers to me,
And my family—so much so that they seem no family of mine.
My family now so unfamiliar they seem.

The stranger in a land is not one who has gone far away
Not he is a stranger who wanders from home,
From family, but one who has grown distant from his own kind.
But he who at home becomes a stranger indeed.

Who, then, will find me a like-minded friend in this age,
In these trying times of such troubles and strife,
With whom I may gather my scattered self after long separation?
Who will stand by me with love shelter my life?
