Song of Songs is kind of under speculation as to what the meaning is, though. Some say it's an allegory in reference to God's love for us. Some people can really get into it from that perspective. I know several Christian women who love that take on it. God IS Love, including all kinds of love.

As for Esther, actually, it's actually a story all about God and Him using us in the positions and circumstances we are in. Mordecai said to Esther, "And who knows but that you have come to a royal position for such a time as this?" (Esther 4:16) It's also mentioned that she, Mordecai, and the other Jews would "fast and pray" for her choice to go to the king (Esther 4:16). It may not specify God, but it's pretty obvious to whom.
Also, it kind of goes to show that even when God's not talking, He can still move pretty powerfully. That's a bit of a tough concept for anyone to grasp and I'm not sure if you understand but I hope that some day, you do.
Around this time God wasn't speakin much with the exception of a message from Joel shortly after Esther's story (or so biblical scholars say) so He wasn't exactly as loud as He was in the books of Genesis, Exodus or 1 & 2 Samuel.
here's my take on it in reference to the song and those books of the Bible: sometimes you have to dig deeper to find God in the midst of it all. He used Esther's position to save a whole nation.
sorry to preach, but I just couldn't pass this by without putting my two cents in... more like 2 dollar coins but w/e.

Have you read the Book of Esther? Or the Song of Songs? Neither of them mentions God and they're IN THE BIBLE.
