Song of Songs 4:3-11

3Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.

4Your neck is like the tower of David, built in rows of stone; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors.

5Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that graze among the lilies.

6Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, I will go away to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense.

7You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.

8Come with me from Lebanon, my bride; come with me from Lebanon. Depart from the peak of Amana, from the peak of Senir and Hermon, from the dens of lions, from the mountains of leopards.

9You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.

10How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!

11Your lips drip nectar, my bride; honey and milk are under your tongue; the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
