christopher hassall - the world is too much with us lyrics
Loading...
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 wreathèd h+rn
