my interpretation of this is that those who are wise patiently wait for death. the others who are hot heated, fuelled by passion , or weak mined start conflicts, (like war) later mentioned in the poem. I feel the narrator is advising against that type of violence. This poem was written at a time where there seemed to be tension and conflict with territory.

reminds me of that saying "we live on borrowed time" our lives aren't ours to have and live for all eternity, I think this poem aims to remind people of their mortality.

this feels borderline apocalyptic.

the continuous use of the word winter feels like this word could symbolise death in the context of this poem. Winter very often in literature is a symbol of death and dying.

previously I stated that I thought this poem could be about finding a safe space, but now I feel like it could be about grief, overcoming it and acceptance of death and mortality.

obviously as the title implies the speaker is a "wanderer" I feel these lines really show that the wanderer isn't wandering solely for the sake of being adventurous but is rather looking for a place where they belong and can feel accepted.

I like the use of the term "roiling" here, which would mean to cause disturbance (specifically in liquid) I think the idea of the "heart" not being something solid but something that flows like water and can be disturbed is interesting.
