SONG OF SOLOMON 7

7:1

How beautiful are your feet in sandals,

O noble daughter!

Your rounded thighs are like jewels,

the work of a master hand. 2

Your navel is a rounded bowl

that never lacks mixed wine.

Your belly is a heap of wheat,

encircled with lilies. 3

Your two breasts are like two fawns,

twins of a gazelle. 4

Your neck is like an ivory tower.

Your eyes are pools in Heshbon,

by the gate of Bath-rabbim.

Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon,

which looks toward Damascus. 5

Your head crowns you like Carmel,

and your flowing locks are like purple;

a king is held captive in the tresses.
6

How beautiful and pleasant you are,

O loved one, with all your delights! 7

Your stature is like a palm tree,

and your breasts are like its clusters. 8

I say I will climb the palm tree

and lay hold of its fruit.

Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,

and the scent of your breath like apples,
9

and your mouth like the best wine.She

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,

gliding over lips and teeth.
10

I am my beloved’s,

and his desire is for me. The Bride Gives Her Love

Come, my beloved,

let us go out into the fields

and lodge in the villages; 12

let us go out early to the vineyards

and see whether the vines have budded,

whether the grape blossoms have opened

and the pomegranates are in bloom.

There I will give you my love. 13

The mandrakes give forth fragrance,

and beside our doors are all choice fruits,

new as well as old,

which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
