Throughout "The Good-Morrow" John Donne uses diction to create a tone of romance by using words such as "love" and "beauty." He also uses naturalistic words such as "hemispheres," "sea discoverers," "worlds," and "maps" to create a mood of adventurous.
The romantic part of this poem is mainly in the first stanza when the narrator tells his story of never loving as much as he loves "the woman." "If any ever beauty" implies that the narrator feels deep love towards this other person and that this beauty is the best of all beauties. Also in the third stanza when Donne uses the words "our two loves" supports the thesis that the tone is mainly about love.
Throughout the second stanza there are many references to nature and earthly things. For example, "sea discoverers to new worlds" implies that the tone of love is throughout the earth and the world. The love that this narrator feels can be seen everywhere from "worlds on worlds."
John Donne uses diction and references to nature and earth to emphasize the narrators love towards the :other person." This creates a romantic and rather spread out unconditional love.
