Song Of Solomon
1 This is Solomon’s song of songs, more wonderful than any other. 2 Kiss me and kiss me again, for your love is sweeter than wine. 3 How pleasing is your fragrance; No wonder all the young women love you! 4 Take me with you; come, let’s run! How right they are to adore you. 5 I am dark but beautiful, dark as the curtains of Solomon’s tents. 6 Don’t stare at me because I am dark— so I couldn’t care for myself—my own vineyard. 7 Tell me, my love, where are you leading your flock today? among your friends and their flocks? 8 If you don’t know, O most beautiful woman, and graze your young goats by the shepherds’ tents. 9 You are as exciting, my darling, as a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions. 10 How lovely are your cheeks; enhanced by a string of jewels. 11 We will make for you earrings of gold and beads of silver. 12 The king is lying on his couch, enchanted by the fragrance of my perfume. 13 My lover is like a sachet of myrrh lying between my breasts. 14 He is like a bouquet of sweet henna blossoms from the vineyards of En-gedi. 15 How beautiful you are, my darling, Your eyes are like doves. 16 You are so handsome, my love, The soft grass is our bed; 17 fragrant cedar branches are the beams of our house, and pleasant smelling firs are the rafters.
