The sun is shining

Arise, my love, my dove, my beautiful one,
and come away;
for now the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land. (Sg 2:10-12)[/b]

.....in the way of suggestion, it could use a break between "gone" and "The flowers" ~ or it could go on just as beautifully without it 
. It comprehensively rings with positive and appreciative overtones and undertones. Not only is the message such, but it feels and looks so poetic, as well. I love it. It's a morning I would love to be in on. Forgive me, but what is the meaning of "(Sg 2:10-12)"?
~ Interesting that I used the word "forgive me" in that context, eh? Perhaps I have read it before, but only the subconscious recalled and 'knew' what words to use. 
Interesting that I left them, as is, as I actually questioned myself on it, "Why are you saying 'forgive me'? ~ all you're doing is asking a question ~ and that's certainly not an offense, forgiveable or otherwise." However, "whew" on my positive response to it 
? I've not read the entire Bible, only excerpts, in various contexts. However, "Songs of Solomon" is familiar to me as a 'section,' but "Song of Songs" wasn't/isn't. To what biblical figure is its writing credited?
