Song of Songs 7:10

The Best Wine

Desire and the Vineyards · Song of Songs 7

Story guide: The wine comparison passes from 'your mouth' to 'my beloved,' suggesting a possible change of speaker within the verse. Notice the smooth stream flowing into the cup. It gives the praise a sense of sweetness and ease, while the unusual reference to sleepers' lips remains open rather than becoming a pictured event.
