I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk, Eat, O friends, and drink; drink your fill, O lovers.
I slept but my heart was awake, Listen! My lover is knocking;"Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night."
I have taken off my robe- must I put it on again? I have washed my feer- must I soil them again?
My lover thrust his hand throughj the latch-opening; my heart beganb to pound for him.
I arose to open for my lover, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
I opened for my lover, but my lover had left; he was gone.My heart sank at his departure, I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer
The watchmen found me as they made gtheir rounds in the city. They beat me, they bruised me; they took away my cloak, those watchmen of the walls!
O daughters of Jerusalem, I change you- if you find my lover, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love
How is your beloved better than others, most beautiful of wome? How is your beloved better than others, that you charge us so?
My lover is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels.
His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding prefume, His lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh.
His arms are rods of gold set with chrysolite, His body is like polished ivory decorated with sapphires.
His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.
His mouth is sweetness itself, he is altogether , this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Where has your lover gone, most beautiful of women? Which way did your lover turn, that we may look for him with you?
My lover has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to browse in the gardens and tog ather lilies.
I am my lover's and my lover is mine; he browses smong the lilies.
You are beautiful , my darling as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, mahestic as troops with babbers,
Turn your eyes from me; they overwhe,m me Your hair is like a flock of goals descending from Gilead.
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from teh washing. Each has its twin, not one of them is alone.
Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate.
Sixty queens there may be, and eighty concubines, and virgins beyond number;
but my dove, my perfect one, is unique, th only daughter of her mother, the favorite of the one who bore her
Who is this that appears like thed awn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, majestic as the stars in procession?
I went down to the grove of nut trees to look at the new growth in the valley, to see if the vines had budded or the pomegranates were in bloom,
Before I realized it, my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people.
Come back, come back, O Shulammite; come back, come back, that we may gaze on you! Why would you gaze on the Shulammite as on the dance of Mahanaim?
Song of songs 7
How beautiful your sabdakled feet, O prince's daughter! Your fraceful lefs are like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands.
Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blebded wine,Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies.
Your breasts ate like two fawns twins of a gazelle.
Your neck is like ab ivory tower, Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the fower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus
Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel. Your hair is like royal tapestry; the king is held captive by its treses.
How beautiful you are and how pleasing. O love, with your delights!
Your stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit.
I said, "I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit,"May your breasts be like teh clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples
and your mouth like the best wine. May the wine go straight to my lover, flowing gently over lips and teeth
I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me.
Come my lover, let us go to the countryside, let us spend the night in the villages
Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the pomegranates are in bloom0 there I will give you my love.
The mandrakes send out their fragrance, and at our door is every delicacy, both new and old, that I have stored up for you, my lover.

If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother;s breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me
I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine tod rink, the nectar of my pomegranates.
His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you. Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires
Wjo is this coming up from thed esert leaning on her lover? Under teh apple tree I roused you: there your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth,
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealouisy unyielding as the grave . It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away, if one were to give all the wealth of his house for love. it would be utterly scorned.
We have a young sister and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for?
If she is a wall, we will build towers of silver on her, If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
I am a wall and my breasts are like towers, Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment
Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon; he let out his vineyard to tenants. Each was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels of silver
But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.
You who dwell in the gardens with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice!
Come away, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a youngs tag on the spice laden mountains.
