Until the day breaks, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountains of Bether.
All Commentaries on Song of Songs 2:17 Go To Song of Songs 2
Bede
AD 735
“Until the day breathes and the shadows lengthen,” that is, until the eternal light of the coming age appears and the shadows of the present life, that is, the ignorance or error whereby even many of us faithful who have the use of the lamp of God’s word are temporarily darkened, lengthen and disappear.
