Winds in the Garden

A Locked Garden and Living Water · Song of Songs 4

Story guide: The woman answers the garden praise by calling the winds and inviting her beloved to enjoy its fruit. Notice her open hand and the fragrant plants around her. Her own voice now makes the invitation: the movement from 'my garden' to 'his garden' expresses chosen welcome within the poem's intimate metaphor.
