1 >1 Behold, you are beautiful, my love.
2 >2 Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock,
3 >3 Your lips are like scarlet thread.
4 >4 Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armory,
5 >5 Your two breasts are like two fawns
6 >6 Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,
7 >7 You are all beautiful, my love.
8 >8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
9 >9 You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride.
10 >10 How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!
11 >11 Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb.
12 >12 My sister, my bride, is a locked up garden;
13 >13 Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits,
14 >16 Awake, north wind, and come, you south!
