By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
The verse gives voice to the soul's longing to find the one it loves. It portrays that longing as seeking him without finding him. That longing is the desire to see Jesus. It is so deep that being separated from him is unbearable.
The one the soul loves is Christ, who walks invisibly beside those traveling the steep road to eternal life. Even in tribulation he refreshes them with joy.
