SONG OF SOLOMON ยท Chapter 4
4:1 Behold, you are fair, my love; behold, you are fair; you have doves'
eyes within your locks: your hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from
mount Gilead.
4:2 Your 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.
4:3 Your lips are like a thread of scarlet, and your speech is comely:
your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within your locks.
4:4 Your neck is like the tower of David built for an armoury, whereon
there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
4:5 Your two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which
feed among the lilies.
4:6 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to
the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
4:7 You are all fair, my love; there is no spot in you.
4:8 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.
4:9 You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; you have ravished
my heart with one of your eyes, with one chain of your neck.
4:10 How fair is your love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is
your love than wine! and the smell of your ointments than all spices!
4:11 Your lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk
are under your tongue; and the smell of your garments is like the smell
of Lebanon.
4:12 A garden enclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a
fountain sealed.
4:13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits;
camphire, with spikenard,
4:14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of
frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
4:15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from
Lebanon.
4:16 Awake, O north wind; and come, you south; blow upon my garden,
that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden,
and eat his pleasant fruits.
