¹ Behold, you are beautiful, My love. Behold, you are beautiful; your eyes are as doves' from behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats which lie down from Mount Gilead.² Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep which come up from the washing place; of which they all are bearing twins; and a bereaved one is not among them.³ Your lips are like a cord of scarlet, and your speech is becoming; your temples are like a piece of pomegranate behind your veil.⁴ Your neck is like the tower of David, built for an armory; a thousand bucklers hang on it, all the shields of the mighty men.⁵ Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, feeding among the lilies.⁶ Until when the day blows, and the shadows flee away, I myself will go to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hills of frankincense.⁷ You are all beautiful, My love. There is no blemish on you.

⁸ Come with Me from Lebanon, My spouse; with Me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.⁹ You have ravished My heart, My sister, My spouse; you have ravished My heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.¹⁰ How beautiful are your loves, My sister, My spouse! How much better are your loves than wine, and the scent of your ointments than all spices!¹¹ Your lips, My spouse, drip like the honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue. And the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon.¹² A locked garden is My sister, My spouse; a spring locked up, a sealed fountain.¹³ Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with excellent fruits, with henna and spikenard;¹⁴ spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon; with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes; with all the chief balsam spices;

¹⁵ a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters; even flowings from Lebanon.¹⁶ Awake, north wind ; yea, come, south wind ; blow on my garden; let its spices flow out. Let my Beloved come into His garden and eat its excellent fruits.
