The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!
In the secret places of the cliff,
Let me see your1 face,
bLet me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is lovely.”

What Does Song of Solomon 2:14 Mean?
Song of Solomon 2:14
The male lover longs to hear his beloved's voice because it is sweet to him and reflects her qualities. Upon hearing it, he is immediately warmed by the relationship they have. It is the voice that communicates this to him. Next to the sense of touch—which is far and away the most expressive of our senses—the voice conveys the greatest degree of intimacy.
