1 How beautiful you are, my darling!Oh, you are beautiful!Your eyes behind your veil are like doves.Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down Mount Gilead.
2 Your teeth are white like newly sheared sheepjust coming from their bath.Each one has a twin,and none of them is missing.
3 Your lips are like red silk thread,and your mouth is lovely.Your cheeks behind your veilare like slices of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like David’s tower,built with rows of stones.A thousand shields hang on its walls;each shield belongs to a strong soldier.
5 Your breasts are like two fawns,like twins of a gazelle,feeding among the lilies.
