Song of Solomon 4:1–7

He

4 How beautiful you are, my darling!

Oh, how beautiful!

Your eyes behind your veils are doves.t

Your hair is like a flock of goats

descending from the hills of Gilead.u

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.v

3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;

your mouthw is lovely.x

Your temples behind your veil

are like the halves of a pomegranate.y

4 Your neck is like the towerz of David,

built with courses of stonea;

on it hang a thousand shields,a

all of them shields of warriors.

5 Your breastsb are like two fawns,

like twin fawns of a gazellec

that browse among the lilies.d

6 Until the day breaks

and the shadows flee,e

I will go to the mountain of myrrhf

and to the hill of incense.

7 You are altogether beautiful,g my darling;

there is no flawh in you.
