Where is the following passage taken from?

"I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had turned and was gone. My heart leaped up when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him. I called him, but he gave me no answer. If you find my beloved, tell him this: I am lovesick. I am my beloved, and his desire is toward me. Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards, let us see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms are open, and whether the pomegranates are in bloom. There will I give you my love. Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For love is as strong as death, passion as cruel as the grave. The flames of love are flames of fire, a most vehement flame. Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it. Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains."

Where is the following passage taken from?
The Song of Solomon or Song of Songs (Hebrew title שיר השירים, Shir ha-Shirim) is a book of the Hebrew Bible—Tanakh or Old Testament—one of the five megillot. It is also sometimes called by its title in the Vulgate, Canticum Canticorum, the "Canticle of Canticles." The title is later than the text. The book consists of a cycle of poems about erotic love, largely in the form of a dialogue between a bridegroom and a bride.
