1 Behold, you are beautiful, my love. 2 Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock, 3 Your lips are like scarlet thread. 4 Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armory, 5 Your two breasts are like two fawns 6 Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, 7 You are all beautiful, my love. 8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, 9 You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride. 10 How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! 11 Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. 12 A locked up garden is my sister, my bride; 13 Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits: 14 spikenard and saffron, 15 a fountain of gardens, 16 Awake, north wind; and come, you south!
