The Rains are Over and Gone

“Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone; flowers appear on the earth, the time of song has come and the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land.” Song of Songs 2:11-12

The Garden of Eden, the setting for the Song of Songs, is the archetype for all gardens, that magic place where beauty and fragrance and new life arises from compost. The flowers bloom for their hour, and return later to the soil, to bring forth new life once again.

Evocative, enticing poetry from the Song of Songs, this illumination makes a wonderful choice for weddings, anniversaries, or the love in your life, and anyone with a love of flowers and gardens. The words are matched by magnolia tree flowers, majita and California poppies, and agapanthus.
