What view is samuel taylor coleridge expressing in this excerpt from "work without hope"?

all nature seems at work. slugs leave their lair—
the bees are stirring—birds are on the wing . .
work without hope draws nectar in a sieve,
and hope without an object cannot live.

1 nature's work is busy, but rarely productive.
2 one should not meddle with nature's progress.
3 nature is always able to find a source of inspiration.
4 one should look to nature as an example for human behavior.
