    The World Is Too Much With Us Late and Soon - Poem by William Wordsworth

    Uploaded by

    Marilou Velasco Kong
    This poem expresses the speaker's feeling that modern life focuses too much on acquiring and spending, which wastes our abilities. The speaker feels disconnected from nature and has given their heart away for little in return. They would prefer to be a pagan who could find glimpses in nature that make them feel less lonely and see mythical sea creatures rising from the water.

    The World Is Too Much With Us; Late And Soon - Poem
    by William Wordsworth

    Autoplay next poem

    The world is too much with us; late and soon,


    Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers:
    Little we see in Nature that is ours;
    We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
    This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;
    The winds that will be howling at all hours,
    And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;
    For this, for everything, we are out of tune,
    It moves us not.--Great God! I'd rather be
    A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
    So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
    Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
    Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea;
    Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
