The Annoying Sun
"The Sun Rising" is a poem written by the poet John Donne. It is a 30 line poem written in 3 stanzas with the poet as the lover. There is also no fixed pattern. The rhyme never varies, however the stanzas go in this order: abbacdcdee, and so on. The poets tone is very harsh, while he is addressing the sun to leave him and his lover alone. As the poem starts, John Donne is very angry at the sun. He feels that he is too important for the sun to be waking him up and that he should go bother people lower than him, while the sun is doing its regular job of peeping through the curtains as it does each morning. Although he could escape the light of the sun buy simply closing his eyes he doesn't want to loose sight of his lover. He goes on to prove that the sun has no "real" power over what him and his lover do but he says he chooses to let him in so he can see the real beauty of his lady. He then list lots of exotic places and says that his woman is all of those places because of how beautiful they are, as is she (lost of comparison going on here). Then he goes on to say " All here in one bed," "She's all states and all princesses." He is basically saying that all the beautiful and wonderful things the sun sees on his journey they compare to his lady. "this bed is thy center and these walls, thy sphere." This is saying that the universal importance to the lovers, making all the physical world around them subject to them. This poem over all gives a voice to the feeling that the lovers have that they are on the outside of time and all their emotions are the most important things. While the love between him and his lover may seem awesome, it can be kind of true that love is one of the most important than the chaos of the world. There's nothing John can do to change the movements and actions of the sun; from his perspective the whole world in right there with him, with his lover helping that be.
