The Mountains and Fragrance of Lebanon

8 Comec with me from Lebanon, my bride!

Come with med from Lebanon!

Look from the top of Amana,

from the top of Senir and Hermon,

from the dwelling places of the lions,

from the mountains of leopard.

9 You have stolen (my) heart, my sister bride!

You have stolen my heart with one glance from your eyes,

with one ornament from your necklaces.

10 How beautiful is your love, my sister bride!

How better is your love than wine,

and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!

11 Your lips drip nectar, my bride;

honey and milk are under your lips;

the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon.

The Locked Garden of Delights Is Unlocked

12 A garden locked is my sister bride,

a spring enclosed,e a fountain sealed.

13 Your shootsf are an orchard of pomegranates with ⌊choice fruit⌋,g

henna with nard;

14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon spice with all trees of frankincense,

myrrh and aloes with all chief spices.

15 A garden fountain, a well of living water,

flowing (streams) from Lebanon.

16 Awake, O north wind! Come, O south wind!

Blow upon my garden! Let its fragrancesh waft forth!i

Let my beloved come to his garden,

let him eat his choice fruit!

5 I have come to my garden, my sister bride,

I have gathered my myrrh with my spice,

I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey,

I have drunk my wine with my milk!

Eat, O friends! ⌊Drink and become drunk with love⌋!a
