1. Behold, you are fair, my love!Behold, you are fair!You have dove’s eyes behind your veil.Your hair is like a flock of goats,Going down from Mount Gilead.
2. Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheepWhich have come up from the washing,Every one of which bears twins,And none is barren among them.
3. Your lips are like a strand of scarlet,And your mouth is lovely.Your temples behind your veilAre like a piece of pomegranate.
4. Your neck is like the tower of David,Built for an armory,On which hang a thousand bucklers,All shields of mighty men.
5. Your two breasts are like two fawns,Twins of a gazelle,Which feed among the lilies.
6. Until the day breaksAnd the shadows flee away,I will go my way to the mountain of myrrhAnd to the hill of frankincense.
