Why do you think the speaker would "rather be/ a Pagan" in "The World is Too Much With Us" by William Wordsworth?

As a Romantic poet, William Wordsworth loved and respected
Nature.  As the speaker of his unconventional sonnet that reflects both his Romantic
temperament and his thematic tendencies, he reflects how man has become "out of tune"
with Nature in his "getting and spending," and wasting of his powers; instead,
he declares that he would rather be "a Pagan suckled in a creed outworn." For, he would
be able to stand on a "lea" and view the beautiful landscape that would soothe his
damaged spirit rather which would make him less "forlorn" than being in the "petty pace
of day to day" of the civilized world.

With "World"
representing the system of life in an decadent and industrialized West, the life of the
pagan is one of spiritual contentment and communication with Nature, which represents
spiritual truth.  Wordsworth's sonnet is a call to arms against the industrial world's
rejection of "a creed outworn," a creed of Nature that imbues man with spiritual
truth.
