Song of Songs (Cantique des Cantiques) by Gustave Moreau, 1893. The Song of Songs (Biblical Hebrew: שִׁיר הַשִּׁירִים , romanized: Šīr hašŠīrīm), also called the Canticle of Canticles or the Song of Solomon, is a biblical poem, one of the five megillot ("scrolls") in the Ketuvim ('writings'), the last section of the Tanakh.
The text for Canticle I was taken from A Divine Rapture by Quarles, a paraphrase of sections from the Song of Songs from the Old Testament. It arrives several times at the refrain line "I my best beloved’s am – so he is mine". [4] As already the original biblical poetry, it is "full of beautiful, sensuous imagery". [4]
