Spiritual Canticle (poem)

John of the Cross

A love dialogue in liras between the Bride and the Bridegroom, inspired by the Song of Songs: the search for the Beloved who has fled 'like the stag', the encounter in a transfigured nature, betrothal and spiritual marriage. It is one of the summits of Spanish-language lyric for its density of images and its music.
