2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
For[b]your loveis better than wine.
3Because of the fragrance of your good ointments,
Your nameis ointment poured forth;
Therefore the virgins love you.
4Draw me away!

We will run after[c]you.

The king has brought me into his chambers.

We will be glad and rejoice in[d]you.

We will remember your love more than wine.

Rightly do they love you.

5Iam dark, but lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the tents of Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
6Do not look upon me, because Iam dark,
Because the sun has[e]tanned me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
But my own vineyard I have not kept.

7Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feedyour flock,
Where you makeit rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who[f]veils herself
By the flocks of your companions?

8If you do not know, O fairest among women,
[g]Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds’ tents.
9I have compared you, my love,
To my filly among Pharaoh’s chariots.
10Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
Your neck with chainsof gold.

11We will make[h]you ornaments of gold
With studs of silver.

12While the kingis at his table,
My[i]spikenard sends forth its fragrance.
13A bundle of myrrhis my beloved to me,
That lies all night between my breasts.
14My belovedis to me a cluster of hennablooms
In the vineyards of En Gedi.

15Behold, youare fair,[j]my love!
Behold, youare fair!
Youhave dove’s eyes.

16Behold, youare handsome, my beloved!
Yes, pleasant!
Also our[k]bedis green.
17The beams of our housesare cedar,
And our rafters of fir.
