Song of Songs 2:16-17

Among the Lilies

Rise Up and Come Away · Song of Songs 2

Story guide: The woman affirms mutual belonging, then calls her beloved a gazelle again as light and shadows change. Notice the lilies, the space between the lovers, and the animal facing the mountains. Confidence and longing coexist here; the image preserves that tension rather than giving their relationship a finished ending.

16My beloved is mine, and I am his—the one who shepherds among the lilies.

17Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved—be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of Bether.
