“Tell me, O you whom my soul loves,
Where do you pasture your flock,
Where do you make it lie down at noon?”
– Song of Songs 1:7

In this verse the seeker also asks the Lord where He makes His flock to “lie down at noon.” Noon is the “full” time of a day, as Proverbs 4:18 states:

But the path of the righteous
is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter
until the full day.

To “lie down” means to rest. Therefore, this verse indicates that the seeker desires to enter into something further with the Lord. She is not satisfied to just have a little service or some outward activities for the Lord. She is also longing for rest; not merely to work, but to enjoy the life supply of the Lord, even to the fullest extent.
