1 Behold, you [are] beautiful, My love. Behold, you [are] beautiful; your eyes [are] like doves' from behind your veil; your hair [is] like a flock of goats that appear from Mount Gilead.

2 Your teeth [are] like a flock of shorn [sheep], which came up from the washing; they all are bearing twins and not one [is] barren 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, on which there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of 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 will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.

7 You [are] all fair, My love; no blemish [is] in 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 fair is your love, My sister, [My] spouse! How [much] better [is] your love than wine, and the smell of your ointments than all spices!

11 Your lips, [My] spouse, drop like the honeycomb; honey and milk [are] under your tongue; and the smell of your garments [is] like the smell of Lebanon.

12 A locked garden [is] My sister, [My] spouse; a rock heap locked up, a fountain sealed.

13 Your plants [are] an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; with henna [and] spikenard,

14 spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices;

15 a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

16 Awake, O north [wind]; and come, south [wind]; blow on my garden, so [that] the spices of it may flow out. Let my Beloved come into His garden and eat His pleasant fruits.
