He thinks city living has little to offer that is not fake and arrogant.
The speaker of this poem is not a fan of the city. The beginning of the poem speaks about the wonders of nature during the night. He then turns his attention to the city and describes people as "parading" and "masquerading". If someone is described as "parading around", they are thought to be prideful and arrogant - much like a peacock showing his feathers. The word "masquerade" also has a false connotation to it. Giving the idea of one putting on a show or wearing a mask.
