7How graceful are your feet in sandals, O queenly maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand. ²Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies. ³Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. ⁴Your 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, overlooking Damascus. ⁵Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses. ⁶How fair and pleasant you are, O loved one, delectable maiden! ⁷You are stately as a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. ⁸I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples, ⁹and your kisses like the best wine that goes down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth.

¹⁰I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me. ¹¹Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages; ¹²let 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. ¹³The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
