Songs:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold ,
you are fair ,
my love !
Behold ,
you are fair !
You have dove '
s eyes behind your veil .
Your hair is like a flock of goats ,
Going down from Mount Gilead .
*
Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep Which have come up from the washing ,
Every one of which bears twins ,
And none is barren among them .
*
Your lips are like a strand of scarlet ,
And your mouth is lovely .
Your temples behind your veil Are like a piece of pomegranate .
*
Your neck is like the tower of David ,
Built for an armory ,
On which hang a thousand bucklers ,
All shields of mighty men .
*
Your two breasts are like two fawns ,
Twins of a gazelle ,
Which feed among the lilies .
*
Until the day breaks And the shadows flee away ,
I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh And to the hill of frankincense .
*
You are all fair ,
my love ,
And there is no spot in you .
*
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 lions '
dens ,
From the mountains of the leopards .
*
You have ravished my heart ,
My sister ,
my spouse ;
You have ravished my heart With one look of your eyes ,
With one link of your necklace .
*
How fair is your love ,
My sister ,
my spouse !
How much better than wine is your love ,
And the scent of your perfumes Than all spices !
*
Your lips ,
O my spouse ,
Drip as the honeycomb ;
Honey and milk are under your tongue ;
And the fragrance of your garments Is like the fragrance of Lebanon .
*
A garden enclosed Is my sister ,
my spouse ,
A spring shut up ,
A fountain sealed .
*
Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates With pleasant fruits ,
Fragrant henna with spikenard ,
*
Spikenard and saffron ,
Calamus and cinnamon ,
With all trees of frankincense ,
Myrrh and aloes ,
With all the chief spices --
*
A fountain of gardens ,
A well of living waters ,
And streams from Lebanon .
*
Awake ,
O north wind ,
And come ,
O south !
Blow upon my garden ,
That its spices may flow out .
Let my beloved come to his garden And eat its pleasant fruits .
