Read the chapter

1How beautiful are your sandaled feet, O queenly maiden. Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a skilled craftsman. ✦ 2Your navel is perfectly formed like a goblet filled with mixed wine. Between your thighs lies a mound of wheat bordered with lilies. ✦ 3Your breasts are like two fawns, twin fawns of a gazelle. ✦ 4Your neck is as beautiful as an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the sparkling pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is as fine as the tower of Lebanon overlooking Damascus. ✦ 5Your head is as majestic as Mount Carmel, and the sheen of your hair radiates royalty. The king is held captive by its tresses. ✦ 6Oh, how beautiful you are! How pleasing, my love, how full of delights! ✦ 7You are slender like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters of fruit. ✦ 8I said, “I will climb the palm tree and take hold of its fruit.” May your breasts be like grape clusters, and the fragrance of your breath like apples. ✦ 9May your kisses be as exciting as the best wine— Yes, wine that goes down smoothly for my lover, flowing gently over lips and teeth. ✦ 10I am my lover’s, and he claims me as his own. ✦ 11Come, my love, let us go out to the fields and spend the night among the wildflowers. ✦ 12Let us get up early and go to the vineyards to see if the grapevines have budded, if the blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love. ✦ 13There the mandrakes give off their fragrance, and the finest fruits are at our door, new delights as well as old, which I have saved for you, my lover. ✦
