1. Look at you—so beautiful, my dearest!Look at you—so beautiful! Your eyes are dovesbehind the veil of your hair!Your hair is like a flock of goatsas they stream down Mount Gilead.
2. Your teeth are like newly shorn ewesas they come up from the washing pool—all of them perfectly matched,not one of them lacks its twin.
3. Like a crimson ribbon are your lips;when you smile, it is lovely.Like a slice of pomegranate is the curve of your facebehind the veil of your hair.
4. Like David’s tower is your neck,splendidly built!A thousand shields are hung upon it—all the weapons of the warriors.
