Asleep — I was dull, and sluggish. But — Yet in my very sleep my thoughts were running upon my beloved. It is — Between sleeping and waking, I heard his voice. Knocketh — By his word, and providence, and spirit, at the door of my heart. Open — Inviting me to let him into my soul. My love — This heap of kind compellations signifies Christ's fervent affection to his people. With dew — While I wait without thy door, which signifies his sufferings for the church's good. The drops — The dew which falls in the night.
