Nature is often something that is overlooked by humanity in life. In "The World Is Too Much With Us", Williams Wordsworth expresses disgust towards how neglected nature has become.
In the first three lines of the poem, he essentially states we are obsessed with "getting and spending" material objects and making them "ours". Since humanity can never truly own nature, we wrongly neglect it.
He goes on to express how we should concern ourselves less with "owning" nature and more with taking in its beauty. He describes the tantalizing beauty of various parts of nature(the sea, the wind, etc.) and how humanity has become out of touch with this beauty. Later, he states that he would rather become a Pagan than someone who isn't able to truly appreciate the beauty of our world. He obviously feels that humanity should try and do a better job of appreciating the beauty of the world around us.
