[1] How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from the hills of Gilead. [2] Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone. [3] Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. [4] Your neck is like the tower of David, built with courses of stone; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors. [5] Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. [6] Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense. [7] You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.
