Solomon 1:2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine.
Solomon 1:3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the young women love you!
Solomon 1:4 Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. Friends We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. She How right they are to adore you!
Solomon 1:5 Dark am I, yet lovely, daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon.
Solomon 1:6 Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I had to neglect.
Solomon 1:7 Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends?
Solomon 1:8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds.
Solomon 1:9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare among Pharaoh's chariot horses.
Solomon 1:10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels
Solomon 1:11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver
Solomon 1:12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
Solomon 1:13 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
Solomon 1:14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
Solomon 1:15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.
Solomon 1:16 How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant
Solomon 1:17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs.
