Agromania
drives me out of the safety of home;
out into the far-stretching woods;
makes me embark on ships
to travel the never-ending oceans;
makes me climb icy mountain peaks;
makes me run over the wide grasslands...

... until homesickness befalls me
like some thanatomania,
making me return home
like a doomed and humbled one,
keeping quiet about the worlds I saw.
