Song of Songs 4
American Standard Version
1Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyesH5869 are as dovesH3123 behind thy veilH6777. Thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795, That lie along the side of mount GileadH1568.2Thy teethH8127 are like a flockH5739of ewesthat arenewlyshorn, Which are comeH5927 up from the washingH7367, Whereof every one hath twinsH8382, And none is bereaved among them.3Thy lipsH8193 are like a threadH2339 of scarletH8144, And thy mouth is comely. Thy templesH7541 are like a piece of a pomegranateH7416 Behind thy veilH6777.4Thy neckH6677 is like the towerH4026 of DavidH1732 Builded for an armory, Whereon there hangH8518 a thousandH505 bucklers, All the shieldsH4043 of the mightyH1368 menH1368.5Thy twoH8147 breastsH7699 are like twoH8147 fawnsH6082 That are twinsH8380 of a roe, Which feedH7462 among the liliesH7799.6Until the dayH3117 be cool, and the shadows fleeH5127 away, I will get me to the mountainH2022 of myrrhH4753, And to the hillH2022 of frankincenseH3828.7Thou art all fair, my love; And there is no spot in thee.8ComeH935 with me from LebanonH3844, mybrideH3618, With me from LebanonH3844: Look from the topH7218 of AmanaH549, From the topH7218 of SenirH8149 and HermonH2768, From the lions’H738 densH4585, From the mountainsH2042 of the leopardsH5246.9Thou hast ravished my heart, my sisterH269, mybrideH3618; Thou hast ravished my heart with oneH259 of thine eyesH5869, With oneH259 chain of thy neckH6677.10HowH4100 fair is thy love, my sisterH269, my brideH3618! HowH4100 much better is thy love than wineH3196! And the fragrance of thine oilsH8081 than all manner of spicesH1314!11Thy lipsH8193, O mybrideH3618, drop asthe honeycomb: HoneyH1706 and milkH2461 are under thy tongueH3956; And the smell of thy garmentsH8008 is like the smell of LebanonH3844.12A gardenH1588 shut up is my sisterH269, my brideH3618; A springH4599 shut up, a fountain sealedH2856.13Thy shoots are an orchard of pomegranatesH7416, with precious fruitsH6529; HennaH3724 with spikenard plants,14Spikenard and saffron, CalamusH7070 and cinnamonH7076, with all treesH6086 of frankincenseH3828; MyrrhH4753 and aloes, with all the chiefH7218 spicesH1314.15Thou arta fountain of gardensH1588, A wellH875 of living watersH4325, And flowingH5140 streamsH5140 from LebanonH3844.16AwakeH5782, O northH6828 windH8486; and comeH935, thou southH8486; Blow upon my gardenH1588, that the spicesH1314 thereof may flowH5140 out. Let my beloved comeH935 into his gardenH1588, And eatH398 his precious fruitsH6529.
