* 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 ; * Thy teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep , Which come up from the washing –place , Of which every one beareth twins , And none is barren among them ; * Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet , And thy mouth comely ; Thy cheeks are like a divided pomegranate behind thy veil ; * Thy neck is like the tower of David , Built for an armory , In which there hang a thousand bucklers , All shields of mighty men ; * Thy two breasts are like two young twin gazelles , That feed among the lilies . * When the day breathes , and the shadows flee away , I will betake me to the mountain of myrrh And the hill of frankincense . * Thou art all fair , my love ; There is no spot in thee ! * 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 . * 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 . * 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 ! * 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 . * A garden inclosed is my sister , my spouse ; A spring shut up , a fountain sealed ; * Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates , with choicest fruits , Henna and spikenard , * Spikenard and saffron , Sweet cane and cinnamon , With all trees of frankincense ; Myrrh and aloes , With all the chief spices ; * A fountain of the gardens , A well of living water , A stream that floweth from Lebanon ! * 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 .
