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!<
