The garden is also full of the choicest fruit and the chief spices with their beauty and fragrance (S.S. 4:13-14). A rich garden grows many kinds of plants, which produce fruit and are full of fragrance and color. This becomes the lover’s beauty to the Lord. Eventually, this holy garden becomes the green couch (1:16b) for the lover and Christ to live together in mutual rest and
enjoyment. The lover of Christ is now rich in life, producing fruits to nourish and refresh, giving forth sweet fragrances, and displaying beautiful colors to become a restful couch of green for Christ’s rest and enjoyment.
