Read Explanation:

  • This poem was written for Donne’s wife, Anne, in either 1611 or 1612.

  • Donne has also structured this piece with a consistent pattern of rhyme, following the scheme of abab.

  • In regards to meter, Donne chose to use iambic tetrameter. This means that each line contains four sets of two beats. Generally, the first of these is unstressed, and the second is stressed.
