1.
"Behold, you are fair, my beloved; behold, you are fair; your eyes are [like] doves, from within your kerchief; your hair is like a flock of goats that streamed down from Mount Gilead.
2.
Your teeth are like a flock of uniformly shaped [ewes] that came up from the washing, all of whom are perfect, and there is no bereavement among them.
3.
Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your speech is comely; your temple is like a split pomegranate from within your kerchief.
4.
Your neck is like the Tower of David, built as a model; a thousand shields hanging on it, all the quivers of the mighty men.
5.
Your two breasts are like two fawns, the twins of a gazelle, who graze among the roses.
6.
Until the sun spreads and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.
7.
You are all fair, my beloved, and there is no blemish in you.
8.
With me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon shall you come; you shall look from the peak of Amanah, from the peak of Senir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from mountains of leopards.
9.
You have captivated my heart, my sister, [my] bride; you have captivated my heart with one of your eyes, with one link of your necklaces.
10.
How fair is your love, my sister, [my] bride; how much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your oils than all spices!
11.
Your lips drip flowing honey, O bride; honey and milk are under your tongue, and the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
12.
A locked up garden is my sister, [my] bride; a locked up spring, a sealed fountain.
13.
Your arid fields are as a pomegranate orchard with sweet fruit, henna and spikenard.
14.
Spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all frankincense trees, myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.
15.
A garden fountain, a well of living waters and flowing streams from Lebanon."
16.
" Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out; let my beloved come to his garden and eat his sweet fruit."
