"Donne, though a man of the cloth in his later years, was quite the ladies man in his youth. The Good-Morrow details his feelings about one of his loves. The Good-Morrow is about love in the highest order. He starts the poem by saying that anything they thought they loved before they met was just an illusion. This love is the real thing and makes all other loves seem insignificant by comparison. In line 3, "country pleasures," so I'm told, is synonymous with sex.

In the second stanza, Donne says that the room that he and his lover share is everything, and everywhere. There is no life beyond the walls of their room, because they are the only two things that matter in the entire world.

In the third stanza, Donne and his lover are looking into each other's eyes. What Donne sees is his own image reflected in her eyes, just as she sees her own image in his eyes. The two hemispheres are each others eyes, which are worlds unto themselves, and better than the actual world (earth) because they are not cold in the north or primitive in the west. They have none of the problems of the real world. In essence, their world is better than the world outside of where they are. Donne then goes on to say that if they love each other equally, then their love will never die."
