1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,O noble daughter!Your rounded thighs are like jewels,the work of a master hand.
2 Your navel is a rounded bowlthat never lacks mixed wine.Your belly is a heap of wheat,encircled with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns,twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.Your eyes are pools in Heshbon,by the gate of Bath-rabbim.Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon,which looks toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Carmel,and your flowing locks are like purple;a king is held captive in the tresses.
6 How beautiful and pleasant you are,O loved one, with all your delights!
7 Your stature is like a palm tree,and your breasts are like its clusters.
8 I say I will climb the palm treeand lay hold of its fruit.Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,and the scent of your breath like apples,
9 and your mouth like the best wine.It goes down smoothly for my beloved,gliding over lips and teeth.
10 I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me.
11 Come, my beloved,let us go out into the fieldsand lodge in the villages;
12 let us go out early to the vineyards and see whether the vines have budded,whether the grape blossoms have openedand the pomegranates are in bloom.There I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance,and beside our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old,which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
