Solomon’s Love Expressed

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:1 -

[fn]How beautiful you are, my darling,

[fn]How beautiful you are!

Your eyes are like doves behind your veil;

Your hair is like a flock of goats

That have descended from Mount Gilead.

“Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep

Which have come up from their watering place,

All of which bear twins,

And not one among them has lost her young.

“Your lips are like a scarlet thread,

And your mouth is beautiful.

Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate

Behind your veil.

Built with layers of stones

On which are hung a thousand shields,

All the round shields of the warriors.

Twins of a gazelle

That graze among the lilies.

From the summit of Senir and Hermon,

From the dens of lions,

From the mountains of leopards.

With a single strand of your necklace.

How much [fn]sweeter is your love than wine,

And the fragrance of your oils

Than that of all kinds of balsam oils!

Honey and milk are under your tongue,

And the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

A locked spring, a sealed fountain.

With delicious fruits, henna with nard plants,

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:14 -

With all the trees of frankincense,

Myrrh, and aloes, along with all the finest balsam oils.

A well of [fn]fresh water,

And flowing streams from Lebanon.”

The Bride

“Awake, north wind,

And come, wind of the south;

[fn]Make my garden breathe out fragrance,

May its balsam oils flow.

May my beloved come into his garden

And eat its delicious fruits!”
