Song of Solomon 4

¹How beautiful you are, my love! How your eyes shine with love behind your veil. Your hair dances like a flock of goats bounding down the hills of Gilead.

²Your teeth are as white as sheep that have just been shorn and washed. Not one of them is missing; they are all perfectly matched.

³Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; how lovely they are when you speak. Your cheeks glow behind your veil.

⁴Your neck is like the tower of David, round and smooth, with a necklace like a thousand shields hung around it.

⁵Your breasts are like gazelles, twin deer feeding among lilies.

⁶I will stay on the hill of myrrh, the hill of incense, until the morning breezes blow and the darkness disappears.

⁷How beautiful you are, my love; how perfect you are!

⁸Come with me from the Lebanon Mountains, my bride; come with me from Lebanon. Come down from the top of Mount Amana, from Mount Senir and Mount Hermon, where the lions and leopards live.

⁹The look in your eyes, my sweetheart and bride, and the necklace you are wearing have stolen my heart.

¹⁰Your love delights me, my sweetheart and bride. Your love is better than wine; your perfume more fragrant than any spice.

¹¹The taste of honey is on your lips, my darling; your tongue is milk and honey for me. Your clothing has all the fragrance of Lebanon.

¹²My sweetheart, my bride, is a secret garden, a walled garden, a private spring;

¹³there the plants flourish. They grow like an orchard of pomegranate trees and bear the finest fruits. There is no lack of henna and nard,

¹⁴of saffron, calamus, and cinnamon, or incense of every kind. Myrrh and aloes grow there with all the most fragrant perfumes.

¹⁵Fountains water the garden, streams of flowing water, brooks gushing down from the Lebanon Mountains.

¹⁶Wake up, North Wind. South Wind, blow on my garden; fill the air with fragrance. Let my lover come to his garden and eat the best of its fruits.
