Lesson 1 (from Section 1: "The Good Morrow," lines 1-21)
Objective
The objective of this Daily Lesson is to analyze the features of "The Good Morrow" that make it an aubade and decide whether it welcomes or laments the arrival of the new day. Often an aubade will lament the arrival of a new day, because the new day parts the lovers. But "The Good Morrow" celebrates the morning, because it represents the beginning of what the speaker sees as a miraculous and all-consuming new love. This lesson acquaints students with the aubade and then asks them to discover its characteristics in Donne's poem. Then, it asks them to decide what attitude toward morning the poem displays.
