## Text

[1] This is Solomon’s Song of Songs. [2] Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is more delightful than wine. [3] The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the maidens adore you. [4] Take me away with you—let us hurry!
May the king bring me to his chambers.
We will rejoice and delight in you;
we will praise your love more than wine.
It is only right that they adore you. [5] I am dark, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem,
like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon. [6] Do not stare because I am dark,
for the sun has gazed upon me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
they made me a keeper of the vineyards,
but my own vineyard I have neglected. [7] Tell me, O one I love,
where do you pasture your sheep?
Where do you rest them at midday?
Why should I be like a veiled woman
beside the flocks of your companions? [8] If you do not know, O fairest of women,
follow the tracks of the flock,
and graze your young goats
near the tents of the shepherds. [9] I compare you, my darling,
to a mare among Pharaoh’s chariots. [10] Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments,
your neck with strings of jewels. [11] We will make you ornaments of gold,
studded with beads of silver. [12] While the king was at his table,
my perfume spread its fragrance. [13] My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh
resting between my breasts. [14] My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
in the vineyards of En-gedi. [15] How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how very beautiful!
Your eyes are like doves. [16] How handsome you are, my beloved!
Oh, how delightful!
The soft grass is our bed. [17] The beams of our house are cedars;
our rafters are fragrant firs.
