1Behold, youare fair, my love!
Behold, youare fair!
Youhave dove’s eyes behind your veil.
Your hairis like a flock of goats,
Going down from Mount Gilead.
2Your teethare like a flock of shornsheep
Which have come up from the washing,
Every one of which bears twins,
And noneis[a]barren among them.
3Your lipsare like a strand of scarlet,
And your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
Are like a piece of pomegranate.
4Your neckis like the tower of David,
Built for an armory,
On which hang a thousand[b]bucklers,
All shields of mighty men.
5Your two breastsare like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle,
Which feed among the lilies.

6Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh
And to the hill of frankincense.

7Youare all fair, my love,
Andthere is no spot in you.
8Come with me from Lebanon,my spouse,
With me from Lebanon.
Look from the top of Amana,
From the top of Senir and Hermon,
From the lions’ dens,
From the mountains of the leopards.

9You have ravished my heart,
My sister,my spouse;
You have ravished my heart
With onelook of your eyes,
With one link of your necklace.
10How fair is your love,
My sister,my spouse!
How much better than wine is your love,
And the[c]scent of your perfumes
Than all spices!
11Your lips, Omy spouse,
Drip as the honeycomb;
Honey and milkare under your tongue;
And the fragrance of your garments
Is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

12A garden[d]enclosed
Is my sister,my spouse,
A spring shut up,
A fountain sealed.
13Your plantsare an orchard of pomegranates
With pleasant fruits,
Fragrant henna with spikenard,
14Spikenard and saffron,
Calamus and cinnamon,
With all trees of frankincense,
Myrrh and aloes,
With all the chief spices—
15A fountain of gardens,
A well of living waters,
And streams from Lebanon.

16Awake, O northwind,
And come, O south!
Blow upon my garden,
That its spices may flow out.
Let my beloved come to his garden
And eat its pleasant fruits.
