Briefly explain summary of the poem The Sun Rising by John Donne

1 Answer

  1. The poem is written from the love chamber of the two lovers. The sun’s rays enter through the windows and mark the end of the night. The bed is the centre around which the sun revolves. Sun, as the source of vigour and vitality, is invited to shine upon the lovers. The paradigm of the voyeuristic third person being shunned and later being invited is invisible in this poem.

    This is essentially a love poem like the Donne’s The Good Morrow.
