Lover

1 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil¹ are doves.² Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead.³ 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.⁴ 3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth⁵ is lovely.⁶ Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate.⁷ 4 Your neck is like the tower⁸ of David, built with elegance^a; on it hang a thousand shields,⁹ all of them shields of warriors. 5 Your two breasts¹⁰ are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle¹¹ that browse among the lilies.¹² 6 Until the day breaks and the shadows flee,¹³ I will go to the mountain of myrrh¹⁴ and to the hill of incense. 7 All beautiful¹⁵ you are, my darling; there is no flaw¹⁶ in you.
