Song of Solomon (KJV) 4
4 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair;
thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that
appear from mount Gilead.
2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn,
which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is
barren among them.
3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is
comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an
armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins,
which feed among the lilies.
6 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will
get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from
Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from
the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou
hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much
better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
11 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and
milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of
Lebanon.
12 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut
up, a fountain sealed.
13 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant
fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all
trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and
streams from Lebanon.
16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my
garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his
garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
