Song of Songs 1:1-6
1This is Solomon’s Song of Songs.1
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!For your love is more delightful than wine.3The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing;your name is like perfume poured out.No wonder the maidens adore you.
4Take me away with you—let us hurry!May the king bring me to his chambers.
We will rejoice and delight in you;we will praise your love more than wine.
It is only right that they adore you.
5I am dark, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem,like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.6Do not stare because I am dark,for the sun has gazed upon me.My mother’s sons were angry with me;they made me a keeper of the vineyards,but my own vineyard I have neglected.
