The Bride's Search

1 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

2 I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

3 The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

4 It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

5 I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

6 Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

7 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.

8 They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

9 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.

10 He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.

11 Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

Commentary

In Song of Solomon 3, the narrator is dreaming of his beloved. He is filled with longing and desire for her, and he is desperate to find her. He searches through the city, calling out her name, but he cannot find her. He is filled with anguish and despair, and he is desperate to be reunited with her. The narrator's longing for his beloved is a powerful metaphor for the longing of the soul for God. Just as the narrator is desperate to find his beloved, so too is the soul desperate to find God. The narrator's search for his beloved is a symbol of the soul's search for God. The imagery of the narrator's search is also symbolic of the spiritual journey. The narrator is searching through the city, and this is symbolic of the soul's journey through life. The narrator is filled with anguish and despair, and this is symbolic of the struggles and hardships that the soul must endure on its journey. The narrator's longing for his beloved is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and hope. Even in the midst of despair and anguish, the narrator still has faith that he will be reunited with his beloved. This is a reminder that even in the midst of our struggles and hardships, we must still have faith that we will be reunited with God.
