About the Book of Song of Solomon
The Song of Solomon is the Bible's celebration of romantic love — a series of lyric poems exchanged between a bride and bridegroom, full of garden imagery, longing and delight. It has no plot in the ordinary sense, but rather the rising and falling music of two lovers finding each other.
Its 8 chapters and 117 verses include the beloved lines "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine" (Song of Solomon 6:3) and "love is strong as death" (Song of Solomon 8:6).
