*
The Song of Songs ,
which is Solomon '
s .
*
O that you would kiss me with the kisses of your mouth !
For your love is better than wine ,
*
your anointing oils are fragrant ,
your name is oil poured out ;
therefore the maidens love you .
*
Draw me after you ,
let us make haste .
The king has brought me into his chambers .
We will exult and rejoice in you ;
we will extol your love more than wine ;
rightly do they love you .
*
I am very dark ,
but comely ,
O daughters of Jerusalem ,
like the tents of Kedar ,
like the curtains of Solomon .
*
Do not gaze at me because I am swarthy ,
because the sun has scorched me .
My mother '
s sons were angry with me ,
they made me keeper of the vineyards ;
but ,
my own vineyard I have not kept !
*
Tell me ,
you whom my soul loves ,
where you pasture your flock ,
where you make it lie down at noon ;
for why should I be like one who wanders beside the flocks of your companions ?
*
If you do not know ,
O fairest among women ,
follow in the tracks of the flock ,
and pasture your kids beside the shepherds '
tents .
