Song of Solomon  


1 : 1 Solomon`s Song of Songs.
1 : 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine.
1 : 3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you!
1 : 4 Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you ; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you!
1 : 5 Dark am I, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of 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 have neglected.
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?
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.
1 : 9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh.
1 : 10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.
1 : 11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver.
1 : 12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
1 : 13 My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts.
1 : 14 My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi.
1 : 15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves.
1 : 16 How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant.
1 : 17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs.
