SONG OF SOLOMON 2

THE BRIDE ADORES HER BELOVED

The bride tells of her admiration for her husband-to-be and how he treats her with love and abundance. The woman uses descriptions of animals and nature to describe the delight she finds in her man.  

In verse seven, the woman warns the women of Jerusalem to not stir up or awaken love before the time is right. Because she is about to be married, many interpret this as the woman warning others not to entertain sex before marriage because the desire and longing will become too much to abstain.
