Behind the Lattice

Rise Up and Come Away · Song of Songs 2

Story guide: The woman describes her beloved close by, looking through a window and lattice. The wooden grid lets you see both his nearness and the separation between them. His comparison with a gazelle continues the lively approach of the previous verse, while the barrier holds their anticipation in place.
