The World Is Too Much With Us; Late And Soon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACACACAThe 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 wreathed horn | A |
William Wordsworth
