My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
The verse is the glad summons of the bright day, when Christ calls His sleeping people to rise and come away. It points to the resurrection, when the dead are awakened by His voice. Then the dead are reunited with their kindred, brought together again after separation. Death no longer divides them, for its power is broken by that call.
