The sunne rising- analysis John Donne In the poem ‘the sunne rising’ we are taken into the bedroom of two lovers where the male persona wishes not to be awaken by the petrusive rays of the sun. This is because the male believes it to be a disturbance of their all consuming love ‘why dost thou thus, Through windowes, and through curtains call on us?’. This bold opening apostrophe with an arrogant, aggressive and insistent tone yet colloquial form and the use of monosyllables opens the poem in a confrontational way. ‘ Busie old foole, unruly Sunne’. From the beginning of the poem the use of visual imagery reduces the sun to the likes of a spying busie body ‘ Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?’ Following in the next stanza with an impertant tone the persona tells the sun that it should direct its efforts elsewhere ‘go chide Late school boyes and sowre prentices’.
