1
The Beloved 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 sheep Which 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 veil Are 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 breaks And the shadows flee away, I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh And to the hill of frankincense.
7
You are all fair, my love, And there is no spot in you.
