Answer:

Appalled

Step-by-step explanation:

The beginning of the poem "The sun has long be set" by William Wordsworth talks about the wonders of nature at night. The speaker describes" little birds," the "far-off wind" etc showing the image of summer. but towards the end of the poem, The speaker describes people as "parading" in London and "Masquerading". This Line shows that the speaker is not a fan of the city.

By using the word "Parading" and "masquerading" shows that the speaker is appalled, He believes city living does not have much to offer if not fake and arrogant. The two words has a false connotation to it, having a meaning that someone is putting up a show and not real.
