Ambrose of Milan, on Song 3:1

“In my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and found him not.”

“Let us follow him by day, the present day of the church, which Abraham saw and was glad. This is why we follow Christ during the day; for he will not be found by night. "Upon my bed," Scripture says, "by night I sought him whom my soul loves. I called him, but he gave no answer."”
