    The poem ‘The Good Morrow’ by John Donne is a metaphysical love poem in nature. Here he emphasizes the new chapter of their relationship. He uses the metaphor of the seven sleepers who were slept for more than 100 years in a hid out, in which he finds the similarity in their relationship as they were slept for years. As if their feelings have not been appropriate. They indulged themselves in country pleasures. As their love was only physical but not from the inner core of heart .

    But in the second stanza, the poet finds the true awakening. After a long slumber, their souls awakened only to mingle and merge with each other souls originating from the same source displays a maddening thirst of assimilation into each other. They are out of fear. They find a whole world in their own ‘little room’. They find each other as they are the two halfs of their own world of love.
