The World Is To Much With Us

（单词翻译:单击）

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 sordid¹ boon²！

This Sea that bares her bosom³ 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 tune⁴，

It moves us not.——Great God！ I'd rather be

A Pagan suckled in a creed⁵ outworn；

So might I， standing⁶ 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.
