Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes.
Song of Solomon 1:15 belongs to an Oriental love poem. That poem draws on Solomon's experiences as a possible type of Christ's love for the church. In the verse Christ speaks lovingly to the church, calling her fair and describing her eyes as doves' eyes with warm, vivid imagery.
