Song of Solomon 4
- Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold,
thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock
of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
- Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came
up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among
them.
- Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy
temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
- Thy neck is like the tower
of David builded for an armoury, whereon
there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
- Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed
among the lilies.
- Until the day break, and the shadows flee
away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
- Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
- Come with me from Lebanon,
my spouse, with me from Lebanon:
look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir
and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains
of the leopards.
- Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished
my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of
thy neck.
- How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how
much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
- Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are
under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
- A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse;
a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
- Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
- Spikenard and saffron; calamus and
cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief
spices:
- A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
- Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved
come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
