Song of Songs 1:1-6

1The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s.

2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth;For thy love is better than wine.3Thine oils have a goodly fragrance;Thy name is as oil poured forth;Therefore do the virgins love thee.4Draw me; we will run after thee:The king hath brought me into his chambers;We will be glad and rejoice in thee;We will make mention of thy love more than of wine:Rightly do they love thee.5I am black, but comely,Oh ye daughters of Jerusalem,As the tents of Kedar,As the curtains of Solomon.6Look not upon me, because I am swarthy,Because the sun hath scorched me.My mother’s sons were incensed against me;They made me keeper of the vineyards;But mine own vineyard have I not kept.
