The Shulamite Among Lilies and Young Roesby CBPepper
4:5Song of Solomon 4:5
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
The line is part of an Oriental love poem that speaks in the warm, vivid, figurative imagery of the East and forms a poetic picture. The poem is taken by many as a parable in which Solomon's experiences serve as a type of Christ and His church. In that parable Christ's wonderful love is set forth for His church. That love is met by the church's answering love. Her faithfulness in that answering love may fail, and her constancy may fail with it.
