In "The World is Too Much with Us," what are the negative aspects of the world according to Wordsworth?

The "world" in this poem is presented by Wordsworth in
overwhelmingly negative terms. His central argument in this poem is that we have given
ourselves over to the world to such a degree that we have made a "sordid boon," actually
unwittingly giving "our hearts away" as we pursue the world--the material world of
possessions and wealth--instead of focussing on our souls and on our relationship with
Nature. Wordsworth goes on to argue that by devoting ourselves to "getting and spending"
alone and not our souls and Nature we actually "lay waste our powers" and have made
ourselves "out of tune" with Nature and its glories that are capable of restoring and
nourishing our soul:

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;

It moves us
not.

By giving ourselves over
to the world we have dulled and sensitised ourselves to the beauty and majesty of
nature, being not moved by the natural wonders that we can see. Wordsworth thus argues
that we need to return to Nature and re-kindle our respect and admiration for it by
separating ourselves from the malign and profoundly damaging influence of the
"world."
