Charles Ellicott Commentary Song Of Solomon 4:6

"Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense." — Song Of Solomon 4:6 (ASV)

Until the day break.—See Note, Song of Solomon 2:17. Until the day breathe = when evening comes. Commentators have tried to identify the mountain of myrrh and hill of frankincense, but these only carry on the thought of Song of Solomon 4:5 under another figure. We have come to another break in the poem, the end of another day, and, as before, though the metaphor is changed, the curtain falls on the complete union of the bridegroom with his bride.
