I am looking for a poem that either starts with or includes the phrase
"The world is too much with us"

Hi ruth8446 and thanks for the question,

The poem you are looking for is titled "The world is too much with us"
and was written by William Wordsworth (1770-1850) He wrote the poem in
1807.

"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;"

hesitate to ask.
