Song of Solomon 5:8 to Song of Solomon 6:3. Descriptive Poem (Wasf) : The Strength and Beauty of the Bridegroom. On this view, Song of Solomon 6:8 f. is taken as an introduction to the praises of the beloved, and whether there is any real connexion with the dream poem is uncertain.
Song of Solomon 6:1-3. These verses form a conclusion to the descriptive poem; if we cannot take them as referring to an absent shepherd lover, then we must regard the symbols of the enjoyment of love as having the same meaning here as in other parts of the book. The bride can answer questions about this wonderful lover by saying simply that they possess each other, and are sufficient for each other's happiness (Song of Solomon 4:12-16; Song of Solomon 5:13).
