[1] Your feet are beautiful in sandals, you daughter of a prince. Your round thighs are like jewels shaped by an artist. [2] Your navel is like a round drinking cup always filled with wine. Your stomach is like a pile of wheat with lilies around it like a fence. [3] Your breasts are like two fawns. They are like twins of a gazelle. [4] Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon near the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus. [5] Your head is like Mount Carmel. And your hair is like purple cloth. The king is captured in its folds. [6] You are beautiful. You are very pleasant. My love, you are full of delights! [7] You are tall like a palm tree. Your breasts are like its bunches of fruit. [8] I said, "I will climb up the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit." Let your breasts be like bunches of grapes. Let the smell of your breath be like apples. [9] And let your mouth be like the best wine. Let this wine go down sweetly for my lover. May it flow gently past the lips and teeth. [10] I belong to my lover, and he desires only me. [11] Come, my lover. Let's go out into the country. Let's spend the night in the fields. [12] Let's go early to the vineyards. Let's see if the buds are on the vines. Let's see if the blossoms have already opened and if the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love. [13] The mandrake flowers give their sweet smell. And at our gates there are all the best fruits. I have saved them for you, my lover, the old delights and the new.
