I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spoke: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

All Commentaries on Song of Songs 5:6 Go To Song of Songs 5

John Cassian

AD 435

The Lord seeks us when he says, “I sought, and there was no one. I called, and there was no one who responded.” And he himself is sought by his bride, who mourns tearfully, “In my chamber at night I sought him whom my soul loved. I sought him, and I did not find him; I called him, and he did not answer me.”
