Speaker 1: The world is too much with us. The world is
0:03
Speaker 1: too much with us. Late and soon, getting and spending,
0:08
Speaker 1: we lay waste our powers. Little we see in nature
0:12
Speaker 1: that is ours. We have given our hearts away, a
0:15
Speaker 1: sordid boon. This sea that bears her bosom to the moon.
0:20
Speaker 1: the winds that will be howling at all hours and
0:23
Speaker 1: are upgathered now like sleeping flowers. For this, for everything,
0:29
Speaker 1: we are out of tune. It moves us not. Great God,
0:33
Speaker 1: I'd rather be a pagan suckled in a creed outworn.
0:37
Speaker 1: So might I, standing on this pleasant lee, have glimpses
0:41
Speaker 1: that would make me less forlorn, have sight of Proteus
0:45
Speaker 1: rising from the sea, or hear old Triton blow his
0:49
Speaker 1: wreathed horn.
