Grammar Is "Oh how is it worth to wander !" correct ?

Hello !

English is not my native language and, strangely, as I proofread them, my sentences feel more and more untrustworthy.
I'm not a frequent writer either... But for a gift I wrote this :

In a world of wonder
With spontaneous enough of a paresse, Oh how
is it worth to wander !​

* paresse is french for lazyness. I love how close it sounds from caress.

I'm mostly uncertain about "Oh how is it worth to wander !" (note that it is an exclamation). I thought about "Oh it is worth to wander !" before this version and "Oh how much is it worth to wander !" after. I like the rythm more the way I presented it, but I'd rather be grammatically correct, for any of the three lines, for that matter.

Thank you !

 

I don't know the French well enough to know if the second line could be "With spontaneous enough paresse". If it could, I think the rhythm would be more pleasing, at least to my ear. And then, for the final line, what exactly are you wanting to say? That it's worthwhile to wander? I think I'd find the meaning more clear with either of your alternative lines--"How is it worth to wander" doesn't really mean much, to me.

 

Hmmm.... I'm no expert, but I am a native speaker. I'd be more inclined to have it read:

Oh, how it is worth it to wander!

And Bayview's: 'With spontaneous enough paresse' sounds much better to my ear. Much less confusing too.

 

worthy

 

Thank you all for your help !

You can simply replace paresse with "lazyness". They are almost no change in meaning, only in rythm.

Yeah, I'm vastly uncertain... I do intend to mean that it is worthwhile to wander. Using a question-word this way does work for an exclamation, then ? I'm feeling more and more doubtful.

First and last line shouldn't change, they are echoes of each other. I'd rather truncate a "it".

"worthy" seems great for that part.

 

'worthy' has a rather different meaning to 'worth' - but nobody else need know

 

I can imagine that worthy is for one that holds values and follow them, almost in a religious way... If it is so, it still goes ok with the meaning, after all, with the same word root (is root correct, here ? ) it cannot derive too far away...

 

Use 'worthy' otherwise it makes no sense.

 

That is what I ended up doing, thank you for your help.
