Passage 5. William Wordsworth, “Th e world is too much with us”

Th e 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!

Th is Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;

Th e Winds that will be howling at all hours

And are up-gathered now like sleeping fl owers;

For this, for every thing, 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 coming from the sea;

Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
