Comment
The Songs of Songs is perhaps the most sublime love poem ever written. Attributed to King Solomon, the Song of Songs is regarded as a conversation between the People of Israel and God and an expression of God's deep and eternal love for Israel. Some take the poems at face value, as expressions of the innocent human love of shepherds and shepherdesses in the bosom of nature. All agree on the beauty of its poetry, which reflects a deep love of the landscape, springtime, and flora and fauna of Israel. The "Cedar and Dove" Commemorative Coin is first in the "Flora and Fauna from the Song of Songs" Series. He sings to her: "Thou art fair my love... thou hast dove's eyes, " while to her, he is "excellent as the cedars".Interesting fact
