Song of Solomon 7

1

How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skillful workman.

2

Your body is like a round goblet, In which no mingled wine is wanting: Your waist is like a heap of wheat Set about with lilies.

3

Your two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe.

4

Your neck is like the tower of ivory; Your eyes as the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looks toward Damascus.

5

Your head on you is like Carmel, The hair of your head like purple; The king is held captive in the tresses of it.

6

How beautiful and how pleasant are you, O love, for delights!

7

This your stature is like a palm-tree, Your breasts to its clusters.

8

I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree, I will take hold of the branches of it: Let your breasts be as clusters of the vine, The smell of your breath like apples,

9

Your mouth like the best wine, That goes down smoothly for my beloved, Gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.

10

I am my beloved's; His desire is toward me.

11

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; Let us lodge in the villages.

12

Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine has budded, Its blossom is open, And the pomegranates are in flower: There will I give you my love.

13

The mandrakes give forth fragrance; At our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
