The subject matter of the poem circles around the nature and completeness of the lovers' world. Donne takes the everyday idea that lovers are engulfed in a world of their own; thus, they are oblivious to reality as it appears as though the outside world is not real. The intensity of their love is sufficient to create its own reality. The poem depicts love as a feeling that surpasses other feelings and one that thrives against odds.In typical Donne's fashion, the poem takes the reader right into the bedroom which is the crucible of passion and thought.
In this poem, Donne employs a dramatic and ecstatic tone. He begins on a note of restraining excitement in the expression of the feeling of love shared between himself and his lover. He marginalizes their feelings and places them above all and against odds. He compares their love to two hemispheres of the world and theirs is perfect. This, thus, evokes a romantic mood through the poem.
