The Good Morrow

I like this poem for a variety of reasons. First, I like the sounds and images he uses. The idea of a waking soul is an interesting idea. When he says these words, i get the idea of not just a person waking up, but more than that. I get this image of a person moving through life, not really looking at the whole picture. And then, all of a sudden, this person is alive. They have the whole world in front of them. He keeps this idea of the whole world being open to the individual with the idea of the two hemispheres, or the whole world, coming together, and creating something whole. It continues with two loves becoming one. I believe the general theme of two becoming one is a powerful one. The poem is set up into three stanzas, which each have seven lines.
