Though “The Good-Morrow” directly concerns worldly love, its heavily religious themes suggest that sensual love can help further our understanding of spiritual love, and vice-versa. Donne’s poem in many ways echoes descriptions of religious conversions, as the speaker and his lover “awake” from the thoughtless enjoyment of worldly “country pleasures” to a higher form of understanding.
