Woman

10 My love is fit and strong,A,j

notable among ten thousand.k

11 His head is purest gold.

His hair is wavyB,l

and black as a raven.

12 His eyes are like dovesm

beside flowing streams,

washed in milk

and set like jewels.C

13 His cheeksn are like beds of spice,

mounds ofD perfume.

His lips are lilies,

dripping with flowing myrrh.o

14 His armsE are rods of gold

set* with beryl.p

His bodyG is an ivory panel

covered with lapis lazuli.q

15 His legs are alabaster pillars

set on pedestals of pure gold.

His presence is like Lebanon,r

as majestic as the cedars.s

16 His mouth is sweetness.

He is absolutely desirable.t

This is my love, and this is my friend,

young women of Jerusalem.
