1Behold, you are beautiful, my companion; behold, you are beautiful.
Your eyes are doves behind your veil.
Your hair is a flock of goats that have descended from Mount Gilead.2Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing;
all of them bear twins, and none among them has lost its young.3Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely.
Your cheeks are like a slice of pomegranate behind your veil.4Your neck is like the tower of David, built for an armory,
on which hang a thousand shields, all the shields of the warriors.5Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that graze among the lilies.6Until the day breathes and the shadows flee,
I will go myself to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.7You are altogether beautiful, my companion, and there is no blemish in you.8Come with me from Lebanon, O bride; come with me from Lebanon.
Journey from the head of Amana, from the head of Senir and Hermon,
from the dens of lions, from the mountains of leopards.9You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.10How beautiful are your breasts, my sister, my bride!
How beautiful are your breasts;
your love is better than wine, and the scent of your oils is better than all spices.11Your lips drip honey, O bride;
honey and cream are under your tongue, and the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon.12A garden locked is my sister, my bride;
a spring locked, a fountain sealed.13Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard.14Nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,
with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices.15A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters that flow from Lebanon.16Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind;
blow upon my garden that its spices may flow.
Let my beloved come to his garden and eat its choice fruits.
