Song of Songs 3:5

Love's Own Time

The Night Search and the Royal Procession · Song of Songs 3

Story guide: The woman repeats the appeal not to awaken love before it desires, even after the intensity of seeking and holding her beloved. Notice the quiet lovers and distant listeners beneath the moon. The stillness changes the pace, asking you to hear restraint alongside the preceding scene's urgency.
