1 Oh, you are beautiful, my darling!Oh, you are beautiful!Your eyes behind your veil are like doves.Your hair is like a flock of female goatsdescending from Mount Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of newly-shorn sheepcoming up from the washing place;each of them has a twin,and not one of them is missing.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread;your mouth is lovely.Your forehead behind your veilis like a slice of pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of Davidbuilt with courses of stones;one thousand shields are hung on it – all shields of valiant warriors.
5 Your two breasts are like two fawns,twins of the gazellegrazing among the lilies.
6 Until the dawn arrivesand the shadows flee,I will go up to the mountain of myrrh,and to the hill of frankincense.
