Kabbalah zu Schir haSchirim 2:12

Rabbi Chiya opened the discussion, "The flowers appeared on the earth, the time of the singing of the birds has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land" (Shir Hashirim 2:12). "The flowers appeared on the earth," - when the Holy One, blessed be He, created the world, He endowed the earth with appropriate powers, so that everything was in the earth but it did not produce any fruit until Adam was created. As soon as Adam was created, everything in the earth became visible, that is, the earth began to reveal the powers and products that were implanted within it. And then it was said, "The flowers appear on the earth."

"In the beginning," Rabbi Shimon opened, "the flower buds appeared on the earth." (Song of Songs 2:12) “The flower buds” refer to the act of Creation. When had they "appeared on the earth"? On the third day, as it is said, “And the earth brought forth grass.” [Genesis 1:12] That was when they appeared on the earth. The time of "pruning doves" [Song of Songs 2:12] has come, alluding to the fourth day, when the "pruning of the tyrants" took place. ["stars" in Gen. 1:14 shares a spelling with "curses"] The voice of the turtle dove [Songs 2:14] refers to the fifth day, where it is written, “Let the waters swarm,” [Gen. 1:20] so as to produce offspring. “It is heard” [Songs 2:12] refers to the sixth day, where it is written, “Let us create man,” [Gen 1:26] and there it is said, “All that [the LORD] has spoken we will faithfully do.” [Exodus 24:7] "Let us make man" [Gen 1:26], who shall put action before listening. Because it says here, "Let us make man," while there on Mount Sinai, when the LORD asked Israel about the Torah, they said "we will faithfully do". [Exodus 24:7]. "In the land" [Songs 2:12] refers to the day of Shabbat, which represents the Land of Life.
