A Sensitive Plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew.
For love and beauty and delight,
There is no death nor change.
-The Sensitive Plant, Percy Bysshe Shelley
In Canticles the bride is speaking of the One whom she loves, and she describes Him:
"His mouth is most sweet: yea, He is altogether lovely. This is my Beloved, and this is my friend" (Song of Solomon 5:16).
This is speaking of our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is "altogether lovely" and may our hearts be fully immersed in our love to Him - for in (His) love and beauty and delight, there is no death nor change.
