1. How beautiful you are, my darling!Oh, you are beautiful!Your eyes behind your veil are like doves.Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down Mount Gilead.
2. Your teeth are white like newly-sheared sheepjust coming from their bath.Each one has a twin.None of them is alone.
3. Your lips are like red silk thread.Your mouth is lovely.Your cheeks behind your veilare like slices of a pomegranate.
4. Your neck looks like David’s tower.The tower was built with rows of stones.A thousand shields hang on its walls.Each shield belongs to a strong soldier.
5. Your breasts are like two fawns.They are like twins of a gazelle,eating among the lilies.
6. Until the day dawnsand the shadows disappear,I will go to that mountain of myrrh.And I will go to that hill of incense.
