1. My darling, you are so beautiful! Oh, you are beautiful! Your eyes are like doves under your veil. Your hair is long and flowing, like little goats dancing down the slopes of Mount Gilead.
2. Your teeth are white like ewes just coming from their bath. They all give birth to twins; not one of them has lost a baby.
3. Your lips are like a red silk thread. Your mouth is beautiful. Your cheeks under your veil are like two slices of pomegranate.
4. Your neck is long and thin like David’s tower. That tower was built to be decorated with a thousand shields on its walls, with the shields of powerful soldiers.
5. Your breasts are like twin fawns, like twins of a gazelle, feeding among the lilies.
6. I will go to that mountain of myrrh and to that hill of frankincense while the day breathes its last breath, and the shadows run away.
