The Apparition
By John Donne (written c. 1590s, published 1633)

When by thy scorn, O murderess, I am dead,
And that thou think’st thee free
From all solicitation from me,
Then shall my ghost come to thy bed,
And thee, feigned vestal, in worse arms shall see;
Then thy sick taper will begin to wink,
And he, whose thou art then, being tired before,
Will, if thou stir, or pinch to wake him, think
Thou call’st for more,
And in false sleep will from thee shrink;
And then, poor aspen wretch, neglected thou
Bath’d in a cold quicksilver sweat wilt lie
A verier ghost than I.
What I will say, I will not tell thee now,
Lest that preserve thee; and since my love is spent,
I’d rather thou shouldst painfully repent
Than by my threat’nings rest still innocent.

🕯️ About the Poem

Theme: The speaker threatens to return as a ghostly apparition to torment the woman who rejected him.

Style: Characteristic of Donne’s metaphysical wit — blending sensuality, psychology, and the macabre.

Notable image: The lover’s ghost visiting her bed, turning her from proud to terrified — a revenge of spirit and conscience.
