The Beloved :
How beautiful are your feet in sandals ,
O prince
s daughter !
The curves of your thighs are like jewels ,
the work of the hands of a skilled artist .
*
Your navel is like a round goblet ;
it lacks no mixed wine .
Your belly is like a heap of wheat set about with lilies .
*
Your two breasts are like two fawns ,
twins of a gazelle .
*
Your neck is like an ivory tower ,
your eyes like the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim .
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus .
*
Your head is like Carmel ,
and the hair of your head is like purple ;
the king is held captive in its tresses .
*
How beautiful and how pleasant you are ,
O love ;
so exquisite !
*
Your stature is like a palm tree ,
and your breasts like its clusters .
*
I said ,
I will go up into the palm tree ,
I will grasp its stalk .
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine ,
the fragrance of your nose like apples ,
*
and the roof of your mouth like excellent wine .
Shulamite :
The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved ,
gliding gently over the lips into sleep .
*
I am my beloved
s ,
and his desire is toward me .
*
Come ,
my beloved ,
let us go forth into the field ;
let us lodge in the villages .
*
Let us get up early to the vineyards ;
let us see if the vine has budded ,
whether the grape blossoms are open ,
and the pomegranates are in bloom .
There I will give my love to you .
*
At our door all manner of excellent fragrances for love ,
new and old ,
I have treasured up for you ,
my beloved .
