1:1
The most beautiful of songs, by Solomon.
1:2
Your lips cover me with kisses; your love is better than wine.
1:3
There is a fragrance about you; the sound of your name recalls it. No woman
could keep from loving you.
1:4
Take me with you, and we'll run away; be my king and take me to your room. We
will be happy together, drink deep, and lose ourselves in love. No wonder all
women love you!
1:5
Women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful, dark as the desert tents of Kedar,
but beautiful as the draperies in Solomon's palace.
1:6
Don't look down on me because of my color, because the sun has tanned me. My
brothers were angry with me and made me work in the vineyard. I had no time to
care for myself.
1:7
Tell me, my love, Where will you lead your flock to graze? Where will they rest
from the noonday sun? Why should I need to look for you among the flocks of the
other shepherds?
1:8
Don't you know the place, loveliest of women? Go and follow the flock; find
pasture for your goats near the tents of the shepherds.
1:9
You, my love, excite men as a mare excites the stallions of Pharaoh's chariots.
1:10
Your hair is beautiful upon your cheeks and falls along your neck like jewels.
1:11
But we will make for you a chain of gold with ornaments of silver.
1:12
My king was lying on his couch, and my perfume filled the air with fragrance.
1:13
My lover has the scent of myrrh as he lies upon my breasts.
1:14
My lover is like the wild flowers that bloom in the vineyards at Engedi.
1:15
How beautiful you are, my love; how your eyes shine with love!
1:16
How handsome you are, my dearest; how you delight me! The green grass will be
our bed;
1:17
the cedars will be the beams of our house, and the cypress trees the ceiling.
