Song of songs1:1-11
Your name is like perfume poured out.
Your love is more delightful than wine.
We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine.
Beloved is dark , yet lovely, like the tent of Kedar, do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My brothers were angry with me and make me take care of the vineyards.
Lover: I like you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh. Your check and neck are beautiful, we will make you earring of gold, studded with silver.
The Song is clearly love poetry. It is a genre known the world over, and the ancient Near East had its own particular conventions which we find in the Song.
The poems are full of images from countryside. The time, appropriately, is spring. They are full of the passion and delight of human love.
Why?
Kedarites wandered the Sinai desert. their tents were made of black goat hair.
When a man fall in love, his/her name is like perfume attract the lover.
Skin color is not important than the feeling between lovers.
King Solomon bought horses from Egypt so here described the lovers as the horse of Pharaoh.
Earring of gold, studded with silver to the beloved is mean they are very intimate and like to serve each other.
How?
The love between couples need such lovely service and anticipate between each other. Usually we will think it is living together and forsake these small mind to take care for her or him. May my love could be recovered to the beginning.
