The Song of Solomon is a love poem between a bridegroom and his bride — a celebration of marital love as something pure, joyful, and given by God. Christian tradition has long read it also as an allegory of Christ's love for his church.
“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.”
“I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.”
“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.”
