Heimweh

Where it comes from

Borrowed from German Heimweh.

noun

rare, uncountable Homesickness. For the long trail stretched before us, for we heard the call, / Left the hearthstone and the homeland, felt the rover's thrall; / Wandered to the far horizon, sought the joy of life— / Now the wanderlust is waning, heimweh now is rife.
