Song of Songs 4:1-7

1You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful beyond words. Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair falls in waves, like a flock of goats winding down the slopes of Gilead.

2Your teeth are as white as sheep, recently shorn and freshly washed. Your smile is flawless, each tooth matched with its twin.

3Your lips are like scarlet ribbon; your mouth is inviting. Your cheeks are like rosy pomegranates behind your veil.

4Your neck is as beautiful as the tower of David, jeweled with the shields of a thousand heroes.

5Your breasts are like two fawns, twin fawns of a gazelle grazing among the lilies.

6Before the dawn breezes blow and the night shadows flee, I will hurry to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.

7You are altogether beautiful, my darling, beautiful in every way.
