Introduction: 'The Good Morrow' is a metaphysical poem written by John Donne and published in 1633. The poem is a dramatic monologue of a lover who is analysing his relationship with his beloved. It has a conversational tone, giving the feeling that the lovers are conversing between themselves and we, the readers, are eavesdropping.  The poem: The poem is divided into three stanzas, each stanza depicting a stage of time— past, present and future. The first stanza: The first stanza denotes the past when the lovers had not yet 'loved'. This stanza implies that they may have had a physical relationship before, but, now that they had really fell in love, the past relationship felt like a dream or shadow of love.

Earth Day is celebrated to bring awareness to saving the planet. It is a day which is organized worldwide to discuss and combat the perils of nature in this Earth.
