Bible Chapter Summary
Solomon's Song 2 Summary
The Bride's Beauty and Winter's Passing
The bride describes herself as the rose of Sharon and lily of the valleys, unique among women as her beloved is unique among men. She sits in his shadow with delight and is brought to the banqueting house where his love is displayed as a banner over her. She becomes sick of love and asks not to be awakened until he pleases. Her beloved approaches leaping upon mountains, calling her to arise and come away as winter passes and spring arrives with singing birds and flowering trees. He compares her to a dove hidden in the clefts of the rock and asks her to take the little foxes that spoil the tender grapes.
