The World Is Too Much With Us Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACACA| The world is too much with us late and soon | A |
| Getting and spending we lay waste our powers | B |
| Little we see in Nature that is ours | B |
| We have given our hearts away a sordid boon | A |
| This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon | A |
| The winds that will be howling at all hours | B |
| And are up gathered now like sleeping flowers | B |
| For this for everything we are out of tune | A |
| It moves us not Great God I'd rather be | C |
| A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn | A |
| So might I standing on this pleasant lea | C |
| Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn | A |
| Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea | C |
| Or hear old Triton blow his wreath egrave d horn | A |
