Songs:8

Seeker Overlay ON

* O that you were as my brother , that sucked the breasts of my mother ! when I should find you without , I would kiss you ; yes , I should not be despised . * I would lead you , and bring you into my mother ' house , who would instruct me : I would cause you to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate . * His left hand should be under my head , and his right hand should embrace me . * I charge you , O daughters of Jerusalem , that you stir not up , nor awake my love , until he please . * Who is this that comes up from the wilderness , leaning on her beloved ? I raised you up under the apple tree : there your mother brought you forth : there she brought you forth that bore you . * Set me as a seal on your heart , as a seal on your arm : for love is strong as death ; jealousy is cruel as the grave : the coals thereof are coals of fire , which has a most vehement flame . * Many waters cannot quench love , neither can the floods drown it : if a man would give all the substance of his house for love , it would utterly be contemned . * We have a little sister , and she has no breasts : what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for ? * If she be a wall , we will build on her a palace of silver : and if she be a door , we will enclose her with boards of cedar . * I am a wall , and my breasts like towers : then was I in his eyes as one that found favor . * Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon ; he let out the vineyard to keepers ; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver . * My vineyard , which is mine , is before me : you , O Solomon , must have a thousand , and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred . * You that dwell in the gardens , the companions listen to your voice : cause me to hear it . * Make haste , my beloved , and be you like to a roe or to a young hart on the mountains of spices .
