I am trying to frame example sentences for the phrases used in the sonnet The World Is Too Much with Us (sonnet by Wordsworth). Is my understanding of these phrases is right? Are these sentences correct?
too much - The English section for the test is vast. It is too much for me to absorb.
getting and spending - The city life is lavish. People are getting and spending money like anything.
late and soon - Your devilish actions would be punished; late and soon,
our hearts away- To work in this ditch, we should throw our hearts away.
sordid boon - He is the merciless gangster; granting him a life is a sordid boon.
Thanks

Actually my younger cuisine approached me with this query (of his English class). These phrases are too poetic for me to frame sensible sentences. I just wanted to check myself with the usage before I advice him.
Any examples would be great.
Its not for a grading/marking kind of thing. Its kind of exercise they would give to their students in groups to make them familiar with variety of things. Students in a group will share their experiences with others in the group. And of course, I am not going to give him the sentences, I want to let him understand and help him in building sentences. Though I am not good at English, I could not stop him from reaching me. In fact, this would help me too to grow.
Thanks
