Song of Songs 4:1-7

¹How beautiful you look, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair flows down like a flock of goats descending Mount Gilead.

²Your teeth are as white as a flock of sheep that are just shorn and washed. None of them are missing—they are all perfectly matched.

³Your lips are as red as scarlet thread. Your mouth is gorgeous. Your cheeks are the blushing color of pomegranates behind your veil.

⁴Your neck is as tall and shapely as David's tower, with your necklaces like the hanging shields of a thousand warriors.

⁵Your breasts are like two fawns, two gazelles feeding among the lilies.

⁶Before the morning breezes blow and the shadows disappear, I must hurry to those mountains of myrrh and frankincense.

⁷You are incredibly beautiful, my darling—you are absolutely flawless!
