The world is too much with us

The poet compassion modern human's life, too indulge in the secular, fame and fortune, too busy to close to nature, not to be moved by the simplicity of life. Unlike society, Wordsworth does not see nature as a commodity. The verse "Little we see in Nature that is ours", shows that in Wordsworth's eyes, human and nature should coexist. The phrase "sleeping flowers" might also describe how nature is being overrun unknowingly and is helpless. Wordsworth said the world is too overwhelming for us to appreciate it. We're so concerned about time and money that we use up all our energy. People want to accumulate stuff, so they see nothing in nature that they can "own".
