BRIEF COMMENTARY ON THE LESSONS
Lesson 1: Song of Solomon 2:8-13 (C)
The whole of the Song of Solomon is a love poem. In this passage the bride hears the voice of her lover as he approaches her house, then with desire sees him through the lattice. He joyously announces that the winter rainy season is past and that the earth is in full bloom. He beckons his lover to come and celebrate love and life around them and within them.
