Solomon Calls the Bride Away in Springby emmanuel_higgins

Song of Solomon 2:13

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

The verse portrays springtime, when the fig tree puts forth its green, ripening figs and the vines with tender grapes blossom and give fragrance. It describes the season of the Passover, when winter has ended and the latter rain is over and nature is fresh and beautiful. It uses the beauty of that season to call the beloved to arise and come away. The beauty of the verse lies in its vivid description of the season and its joyful invitation.
