noyes - Songs:1-4

noyes@Songs:1:1 @ The Song of Songs, which is by Solomon.

noyes@Songs:1:2 @ O that he would kiss me with one of the kisses of his mouth! For thy love is better than wine.

noyes@Songs:1:3 @ Because of the savor of thy precious perfumes, (Thy name is like fragrant oil poured forth,) Therefore do the virgins love thee.

noyes@Songs:1:4 @ Draw me after thee; let us run! The king hath led me to his chambers! We will be glad and rejoice in thee; We will praise thy love more than wine. Justly do they love thee!

noyes@Songs:1:5 @ I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

noyes@Songs:1:6 @ Gaze not upon me because I am black, Because the sun hath looked upon me! My mothers sons were angry with me; They made me keeper of the vineyards; My vineyard, my own, have I not kept.

noyes@Songs:1:7 @ Tell me, thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest thy flock, Where thou leadest it to rest at noon; For why should I be like a veiled one by the flocks of thy companions?

noyes@Songs:1:8 @ If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, Trace thou thy way by the tracks of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds tents!

noyes@Songs:1:9 @ To the horses in the chariots of Pharaoh Do I compare thee, my love!

noyes@Songs:1:10 @ Comely are thy cheeks with rows of jewels, Thy neck with strings of pearls.

noyes@Songs:1:11 @ Golden chains will we make for thee, With studs of silver.

noyes@Songs:1:12 @ While the king reclineth at his table, My spikenard sendeth forth its fragrance.

noyes@Songs:1:13 @ A bunch of myrrh is my beloved to me; He shall abide between my breasts.

noyes@Songs:1:14 @ My beloved is to me a cluster of hennaflowers From the gardens of Engedi.

noyes@Songs:1:15 @ Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair! Thine eyes are doves.

noyes@Songs:1:16 @ Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, lovely; And green is our bed.

noyes@Songs:1:17 @ The cedars are the beams of our house, And its roof the cypresses.

noyes@Songs:2:1 @ I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.

noyes@Songs:2:2 @ As the lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.

noyes@Songs:2:3 @ As the appletree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons. In his shadow I love to sit down, And his fruit is sweet to my taste.

noyes@Songs:2:4 @ He hath brought me to his banquetinghouse, And his banner over me is love. Strengthen me with raisins,

noyes@Songs:2:5 @ Refresh me with apples! For I am sick with love.

noyes@Songs:2:6 @ His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraceth me!

noyes@Songs:2:7 @ I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she please!

noyes@Songs:2:8 @ The voice of my beloved! Behold, he cometh, Leaping upon the mountains, Bounding upon the hills.

noyes@Songs:2:9 @ Like a gazelle is my beloved, Or a young hind. Behold, he standeth behind our wall; He is looking through the windows; He glanceth through the lattice.

noyes@Songs:2:10 @ My beloved speaketh, and saith to me, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!

noyes@Songs:2:11 @ For, lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone;

noyes@Songs:2:12 @ 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;

noyes@Songs:2:13 @ The figtree is spicing its green fruit; The vines in blossom give forth fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away!

noyes@Songs:2:14 @ O my dove, that art in the recesses of the rock, In the hidingplaces of the steep craggy mountain, Let me see thy face, Let me hear thy voice! For sweet is thy voice, And thy face lovely."

noyes@Songs:2:15 @ Take ye for us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines; For our vines are now in blossom.

noyes@Songs:2:16 @ My beloved is mine, and I am his; He feedeth among the lilies.

noyes@Songs:2:17 @ When the day breathes, and the shadows flee away, Come again, my beloved, like a gazelle, or a young hind, Upon the craggy mountains.

noyes@Songs:3:1 @ Upon my bed, in the night, I sought him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but found him not.

noyes@Songs:3:2 @ I will arise now, and go about the city; In the streets and the broad ways will I seek him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but found him not.

noyes@Songs:3:3 @ The watchmen who go about the city found me; "Have you seen him whom my soul loveth?"

noyes@Songs:3:4 @ I had but just passed them, When I found him whom my soul loveth; I held him, and would not let him go, Till I had brought him into my mothers house, Into the apartment of her that bore me.

noyes@Songs:3:5 @ I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem! By the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she please.

noyes@Songs:3:6 @ Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the powders of the merchant?

noyes@Songs:3:7 @ Behold, the carriage of Solomon! Threescore valiant men are around it, Of the valiant men of Israel.

noyes@Songs:3:8 @ They all wear swords, Being skilled in war. Every one hath his sword girt upon his thigh, On account of danger in the night.

noyes@Songs:3:9 @ King Solomon made for himself a carriage Of the wood of Lebanon.

noyes@Songs:3:10 @ The pillars thereof he made of silver, The railing of gold, The seat of purple, Its interior curiously wrought by a lovely one of the daughters of Jerusalem.

noyes@Songs:3:11 @ Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion! And behold King Solomon In the crown with which his mother crowned him, In the day of his espousals, In the day of the gladness of his heart.

noyes@Songs:4:1 @ Behold, thou art fair, my love! behold, thou art fair! Thine eyes are doves behind thy veil; Thy locks are like a flock of goats Which lie down on mount Gilead;

noyes@Songs:4:2 @ Thy teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep, Which come up from the washingplace, Of which every one beareth twins, And none is barren among them;

noyes@Songs:4:3 @ Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, And thy mouth comely; Thy cheeks are like a divided pomegranate behind thy veil;

noyes@Songs:4:4 @ Thy neck is like the tower of David, Built for an armory, In which there hang a thousand bucklers, All shields of mighty men;

noyes@Songs:4:5 @ Thy two breasts are like two young twin gazelles, That feed among the lilies.

noyes@Songs:4:6 @ When the day breathes, and the shadows flee away, I will betake me to the mountain of myrrh And the hill of frankincense.

noyes@Songs:4:7 @ Thou art all fair, my love; There is no spot in thee!

noyes@Songs:4:8 @ Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, With me from Lebanon! Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Senir and Hermon, From the dens of the lions, From the mountains of the leopards.

noyes@Songs:4:9 @ Thou hast taken captive my heart, my sister, my spouse; Thou hast taken captive my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.

noyes@Songs:4:10 @ How sweet is thy love, my sister, my spouse! How much more precious thy caresses than wine, And the fragrance of thy perfumes than all spices!

noyes@Songs:4:11 @ Thy lips, O my spouse! drop the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments is as the fragrance of Lebanon.

noyes@Songs:4:12 @ A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; A spring shut up, a fountain sealed;

noyes@Songs:4:13 @ Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with choicest fruits, Henna and spikenard,

noyes@Songs:4:14 @ Spikenard and saffron, Sweet cane and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense; Myrrh and aloes, With all the chief spices;

noyes@Songs:4:15 @ A fountain of the gardens, A well of living water, A stream that floweth from Lebanon!

noyes@Songs:4:16 @ Awake, O north wind, and come, thou south! Blow upon my garden, That its spices may flow out! May my beloved come to his garden, And eat his pleasant fruits.

noyes@Songs:5:1 @ I am come to my garden, my sister, my spouse! I gather my myrrh with my balsam, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends! Drink, yea, drink abundantly, my loved companions!
