Songs:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold ,
thou art beautiful ,
my beloved ,
behold ,
thou art beautiful :
thy dovelike eyes from behind thy vail ;
thy hair is like a flock of goats ,
that come quietly down from Mount Gil
ad .
*
Thy teeth are like a flock of well
selected sheep ,
which are come up from the washing ,
all of which bear twins ,
and there is not one among them that is deprived of her young .
*
Like a thread of scarlet are thy lips ,
and thy mouth is comely :
like the half of a pomegranate is the upper part of thy cheek behind thy vail .
*
Thy neck is like the tower of David built on terraces ,
a thousand shields hang
thereon ,
all the quivers of the mighty men .
*
Thy two breasts are like two fawns ,
the twins of the roe ,
that feed among the lilies .
*
Until the day became cool ,
and the shadows flee away ,
will I get me to the mountain of myrrh ,
and to the hill of frankincense .
*
Thou art altogether beautiful ,
my beloved ,
and there is no blemish on thee .
*
Come with me from Lebanon ,
O bride ,
with me from Lebanon :
look about from the top of Amanah ,
from the top of Senir and Chermon ,
from the lions
dens ,
from the leopards
mountains .
*
Thou hast ravished my heart ,
O my sister ,
bride ;
thou hast ravished my heart with one of thy eyes ,
with one chain of thy neck .
*
How beautiful are thy caresses ,
O my sister ,
bride !
how much more pleasant are thy caresses than wine !
and the smell of thy fragrant oils more than all spices .
*
Of sweet honey drop thy lips ,
O bride :
honey and milk are under thy tongue ;
and the scent of thy garments is like the scent of Lebanon .
*
A locked
up garden is my sister ,
bride ;
a locked
up spring ,
a sealed fountain .
*
Thy sprouts are an orchard of pomegranates ,
with precious fruits ,
copher and spikenard ;
*
Spikenard and saffron ;
calamus and cinnamon ,
with all the trees of frankincense ;
myrrh and aloes ,
with all the chief of spices ;
*
A garden
spring ,
a well of living waters ,
and flowing down from Lebanon .
*
Awake ,
O north wind ;
and come thou ,
O south ;
blow over my garden ,
that its spices may flow out .
Let my friend come into his garden ,
and eat its precious fruits .
