Summary

In this poem, the speaker talks about a strong desire for adventure and travel. The East holds the sunrise, the West has the sea, and in between lies a yearning for exploration called "Wander-thirst." It's like a feeling of madness that urges the speaker to say goodbye to familiar places.

The speaker thinks a person can have the sun as a friend and a star as a guide. These things, like the call of the seas, stars, and the sky, make it hard to stop traveling. The rivers, roads, and the call of birds keep pulling the person to explore more.

The speaker says that even though they might come back home, they must leave again. If someone asks why, the speaker says it's because of the stars, the sun, the white road, and the sky – all of which symbolize the excitement of adventure.
