Like the dove that feels threatened and hides in the crevices of the rocks the women made herself inaccessible. She is shy, it seems, because of some perceived problem that might impede their love—there are little things niggling her mind and distracting her from enjoying the relationship (the little foxes Vs. 15). While she hides herself he stands looking (peering) trying to catch a glimpse of her (Vs. 9).
He appeals to her not to be so shy (Vs. 10-14), not to hide from Him as though he was a judge or the enemy. No matter what direction her mood swings with regard to him, he always approaches her with love and respect, affectionately calling her His dove. He came with energy and eagerness, leaping over the mounting (Vs. 8-9). He convinced her that He had not come to judge her but to enjoy her company (cf. John 12:47). She came to the happy realisation that she belongs to him and he belongs to her and she then invited him to come again—as he had previously (Vs. 8-9 cf. 17).
