¹ Behold, ^(a)you are beautiful, my love,
    behold, you are beautiful!
^(b)Your eyes are doves
    ^(c)behind your veil.
^(d)Your hair is like a flock of goats
    leaping down ^(e)the slopes of Gilead.
² Your ^(f)teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes
    that have come up from the washing,
all of which bear twins,
    and not one among them has lost its young.
³ Your lips are like ^(g)a scarlet thread,
    and your mouth is ^(h)lovely.
Your ⁽ⁱ⁾cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
    ^(j)behind your veil.
⁴ Your ^(k)neck is like the tower of David,
    built in ^(l)rows of stone;^[a]
on it ^(m)hang a thousand shields,
    all of ⁽ⁿ⁾them shields of warriors.
⁵ Your ^(o)two breasts are like two ^(p)fawns,
    twins of a gazelle,
    that ^(q)graze among the lilies.
^6 (r)Until the day breathes
    and the shadows flee,
I will go away to the mountain of ^(s)myrrh
    and the hill of ^(t)frankincense.
^7 (u)You are altogether beautiful, my love;
    there is no ^(v)flaw in you.
^8 (w)Come with me from ^(x)Lebanon, my ^(y)bride;
    come with me from ^(z)Lebanon.
Depart^[b] from the peak of Amana,
    from the peak of ^(aa)Senir and ^(ab)Hermon,
from the dens of lions,
    from the mountains of leopards.

⁹ You have captivated my heart, my ^(ac)sister, my bride;
    you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes,
    with one ^(ad)jewel of your necklace.
¹⁰ How beautiful is your love, my ^(ae)sister, my bride!
    How much ^(af)better is your love than wine,
    and ^(ag)the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
¹¹ Your ^(ah)lips drip nectar, my bride;
    ^(ai)honey and milk are under your tongue;
    the fragrance of your garments is ^(aj)like the fragrance of ^(ak)Lebanon.
¹² A garden locked is my ^(al)sister, my bride,
    a spring locked, ^(am)a fountain ^(an)sealed.
¹³ Your shoots are ^(ao)an orchard of pomegranates
    with all ^(ap)choicest fruits,
    ^(aq)henna with ^(ar)nard,
¹⁴ nard and saffron, ^(as)calamus and ^(at)cinnamon,
    with all trees of ^(au)frankincense,
^(av)myrrh and ^(aw)aloes,
    with all ^(ax)choice spices—
¹⁵ a garden fountain, a well of ^(ay)living water,
    and flowing streams from ^(az)Lebanon.

¹⁶ Awake, O north wind,
    and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my ^(ba)garden,
    let its spices flow.

^(bb)Let my beloved come to his ^(bc)garden,
    and eat its ^(bd)choicest fruits.
