1 Look at you—so beautiful, my dearest!Look at you—so beautiful! Your eyes are dovesbehind the veil of your hair!Your hair is like a flock of goatsas they stream down Mount Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like newly shorn ewesas they come up from the washing pool—all of them perfectly matched,not one of them lacks its twin.
3 Like a crimson ribbon are your lips;when you smile, it is lovely.Like a slice of pomegranate is the curve of your facebehind the veil of your hair.
4 Like David’s tower is your neck,splendidly built!A thousand shields are hung upon it—all the weapons of the warriors.
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,twins of a gazelle doe,that graze among the lilies.
