The Feminine Voice of the Song of Solomon

The feminine voice in the Song of Solomon talks of love-
its beauty and its exclusiveness... My beloved is mine, and I am his:
Song of Solomon 2:16
She insists on spontaneity... that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
Song of Solomon 2:7
Love is as strong as death... for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave:
Song of Solomon 8:6
Burning like a fire...  ...the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Song of Solomon 8:6
It can't be quenched... Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it:
Song of Solomon 8:7
This is what God originally intended
    Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,
and shall cleave unto his wife;
 and they shall be one flesh.  
Genesis 2:24
