* The song of songs , which is Solomon 's . * Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth : for thy love is better than wine . * Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth , therefore do the virgins love thee . * Draw me , we will run after thee : the king hath brought me into his chambers : we will be glad and rejoice in thee , we will remember thy love more than wine : the upright love thee . * I am black , but comely , O ye daughters of Jerusalem , as the tents of Kedar , as the curtains of Solomon . * Look not upon me , because I am black , because the sun hath looked upon me : my mother 's children were angry with me ; they made me the keeper of the vineyards ; but mine own vineyard have I not kept . * Tell me , O thou whom my soul loveth , where thou feedest , where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon : for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions ? * If thou know not , O thou fairest among women , go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock , and feed thy kids beside the shepherds ' tents . * I have compared thee , O my love , to a company of horses in Pharaoh 's chariots . * Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels , thy neck with chains of gold . * We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver . * While the king sitteth at his table , my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof . * A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me ; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts . * My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi . * Behold , thou art fair , my love ; behold , thou art fair ; thou hast doves ' eyes . * Behold , thou art fair , my beloved , yea , pleasant : also our bed is green . * The beams of our house are cedar , and our rafters of fir . * I am the rose of Sharon , and the lily of the valleys . * As the lily among thorns , so is my love among the daughters . * As the apple tree among the trees of the wood , so is my beloved among the sons . I sat down under his shadow with great delight , and his fruit was sweet to my taste . * He brought me to the banqueting house , and his banner over me was love . * Stay me with flagons , comfort me with apples : for I am sick of love . * His left hand is under my head , and his right hand doth embrace me . * I charge you , O ye daughters of Jerusalem , by the roes , and by the hinds of the field , that ye stir not up , nor awake my love , till he please . * The voice of my beloved ! behold , he cometh leaping upon the mountains , skipping upon the hills . * My beloved is like a roe or a young hart : behold , he standeth behind our wall , he looketh forth at the windows , shewing himself through the lattice . * My beloved spake , and said unto me , Rise up , my love , my fair one , and come away . * For , lo , the winter is past , the rain is over and gone ; * The flowers appear on the earth ; the time of the singing of birds is come , and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land ; * The fig tree putteth forth her green figs , and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell . Arise , my love , my fair one , and come away . * O my dove , that art in the clefts of the rock , in the secret places of the stairs , let me see thy countenance , let me hear thy voice ; for sweet is thy voice , and thy countenance is comely . * Take us the foxes , the little foxes , that spoil the vines : for our vines have tender grapes . * My beloved is mine , and I am his : he feedeth among the lilies . * Until the day break , and the shadows flee away , turn , my beloved , and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether . * By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth : I sought him , but I found him not . * I will rise now , and go about the city in the streets , and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth : I sought him , but I found him not . * The watchmen that go about the city found me : to whom I said , Saw ye him whom my soul loveth ? * It was but a little that I passed from them , but I found him whom my soul loveth : I held him , and would not let him go , until I had brought him into my mother 's house , and into the chamber of her that conceived me . * I charge you , O ye daughters of Jerusalem , by the roes , and by the hinds of the field , that ye stir not up , nor awake my love , till he please . * Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke , perfumed with myrrh and frankincense , with all powders of the merchant ? * Behold his bed , which is Solomon 's ; threescore valiant men are about it , of the valiant of Israel . * They all hold swords , being expert in war : every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night . * King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon . * He made the pillars thereof of silver , the bottom thereof of gold , the covering of it of purple , the midst thereof being paved with love , for the daughters of Jerusalem . * Go forth , O ye daughters of Zion , and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals , and in the day of the gladness of his heart . * Behold , thou art fair , my love ; behold , thou art fair ; thou hast doves ' eyes within thy locks : thy hair is as a flock of goats , that appear from mount Gilead .
