The heroine yearning for her beloved waits for him outside her bedchamber. The atmosphere is charged with passion with lightening overhead and the promise of a storm. The heroine is slightly anxious wondering what is detaining her lover as he has not appeared at the promised hour. The anxiety is tempered slightly by the pair of flowering plants which frame the heroine, promising that soon the lovers will be united again.
