What does the time of day have to do with the type of scene depicted in the sonnet "Composed upon Westminster Bridge" by Wordsworth?

The time of day and the location are the most important factors in this poem. William Wordsworth was known for writing romantic poetry based on nature and country scenes. By contrast, here he stands on a bridge that crosses the River Thames, and he studies the way the early morning light reflects on the buildings of the city of London. In another hour, or even sooner, this place will be busy, filled with people and carriages and whatnot. It will look and sound quite different. For now, it’s a peaceful scene. Business hasn’t started yet. The poet can appreciate the calmness of the river flowing by and the sun just starting to rise on this large settlement of residents. He can find his nature even in the most civilized place. The key is to look for it around the edges of the day.
