SS 6: She's Special

Song of Solomon 6:3 "I am my lover's and my lover is mine; he browses among the lilies."

This is a couple that has given themselves completely over to the other. What a concept. And since she is the lily among the thorns, I read this as him looking her over, loving her. His one lily. He describes the large numbers of women available to him, but this, this one girl who tends a vineyard, an inauspicious peasant girl, this is the one he wants to be with, and devote his time and energy to. That seems like quite the measure of devotion on his part.

Every part of her body is beautiful to him. What a lovely way to describe the physical attraction of your loved one.
