Song of Songs 4:10-16

10How fairH3302 is thy loveH1730, my sisterH269, my spouseH3618! how much betterH2895 is thy loveH1730 than wineH3196! and the fragranceH7381 of thy ointmentsH8081 than all spicesH1314! 11Thy lipsH8193, O my spouseH3618, dropH5197 as the honeycombH5317: honeyH1706 and milkH2461 are under thy tongueH3956; and the scentH7381 of thy garmentsH8008 is like the fragranceH7381 of LebanonH3844. 12A gardenH1588 inclosedH5274 is my sisterH269, my spouseH3618; a springH1530 shut upH5274, a fountainH4599 sealedH2856.12 13Thy plantsH7973 are an orchardH6508 of pomegranatesH7416, with pleasantH4022 fruitsH6529; hennaH3724, with spikenardH5373,3 14SpikenardH5373 and saffronH3750; calamusH7070 and cinnamonH7076, with all treesH6086 of frankincenseH3828; myrrhH4753 and aloesH174, with all the chiefH7218 spicesH1314:

15A fountainH4599 of gardensH1588, a wellH875 of livingH2416 watersH4325, and streamsH5140 from LebanonH3844. 16AwakeH5782, O north windH6828; and comeH935, thou southH8486; blowH6315 upon my gardenH1588, that its spicesH1314 may flow outH5140. Let my belovedH1730 comeH935 into his gardenH1588, and eatH398 his pleasantH4022 fruitsH6529.
