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.

The lines of the poems are indicative of love between two lovers and how their souls have awakened only after they are united.

The poem, The Good-Morrow is written from the point of view of an awaking lover and describes the lover’s thoughts as he wakes next to his partner. The lover’s musings move from discussing sensual love to spiritual love coupled with biblical references as he realises that, with spiritual love, the couple are liberated from fear and the need to seek adventure.
Hence, Good Morrow: waking up to a new life justifies the title of the poem.
