Эта статья — развёрнутый комментарий к последним двум стихам Песни песней, которые рассматриваются здесь как отдельное стихотворение и как эпилог книги. Сначала приводится еврейский текст с переводом, затем — построчный комментарий, разбитый на две части: «Примечания к переводу» и «Аппарат и комментарий к тексту». Далее идёт глава «Стихотворная форма» и ряд глав, посвящённых центральным образам стихотворения, его жанру и композиционной роли в Песни песней: «Сад как место действия и как символ», «Серенада», «Серенада и молитва», «Прочь!», «Превращение в оленя», «Песн. 8, 13–14 как эпилог Песни песней». В «Заключении» подводятся итоги и формулируются вопросы для дальнейшей дискуссии.

The two final verses of the Song of Songs are read here as a separate poem, which is shown to depend largely on the tradition of paraclausithyron (ancient serenade). The topoi of this oral genre help explain some features of the poem usually considered to be difficult: the solemn invocation of the girl as «living in the gardens», the presence of the «friends» and, above all, the fact that the girl (contrary to what is said in many commentaries) does not invite the boy, but rather sends him away. Another important aspect of the poem is that it serves as an epilogue to the lyric sequence of Song of Songs. Thus the farewell of the girl to the boy corresponds, on a metapoetic level, to the farewell of the poet to the book and to the audience.
