Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,

turn, my beloved,

and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Song of Solomon 2:17 in context

Song of Solomon 2:14–17

My dove in the clefts of the rock,

in the hiding places of the mountainside,

let me see your face.

Let me hear your voice;

for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.

Catch for us the foxes,

the little foxes that plunder the vineyards;

for our vineyards are in blossom.

My beloved is mine, and I am his.

He browses among the lilies.

Selected verse

Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,

turn, my beloved,

and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.
