1 How beautiful you are, my darling!Oh, how beautiful!Your eyes behind your veil are doves.Your hair is like a flock of goatsdescending from the hills of Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,coming up from the washing.Each has its twin;not one of them is alone.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;your mouth is lovely.Your temples behind your veilare like the halves of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,built with courses of stone;on it hang a thousand shields,all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts are like two fawns,like twin fawns of a gazellethat browse among the lilies.
6 Until the day breaksand the shadows flee,I will go to the mountain of myrrhand to the hill of incense.
