How graceful are your feet in sandals, O queenly maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand. |
|
| 2 |
Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies. |
|
| 3 |
Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. |
|
| 4 |
Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus. |
|
| 5 |
Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses. [1] |
|
| 6 |
How fair and pleasant you are, O loved one, delectable maiden! [2] |
|
| 7 |
You are stately [3] as a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. |
|
| 8 |
I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. O may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples, |
|
| 9 |
and your kisses [4] like the best wine that goes down [5] smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth. [6] |
|
| 10 |
I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me. |
|
| 11 |
Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages; |
|
| 12 |
let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. |
|
| 13 |
The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved. |
