Song of Songs 5:2

I sleep, but my heart wakes: it is the voice of my beloved that knocks, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

I slept: while the Christian, even though he is asleep with his eyes, ought to be awake with his heart, as it is written in the person of the Church speaking. (St. Cyprian) beloved is knocking: For Christ stands at the door of your soul. For He says “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man open to Me, I will come in to him, and I will sup with him, and he with Me.” Rev 3:20 (St. Ambrose)
