Solomon's Song of Songs. [She] Would that with that mouth he kiss me. Your love is better than any wine; finer, the fragrance of your oils. Like scented oil your very name flows forth; what wonder then that young girls love you? Come, draw me after you, let us run – into his chambers the king has brought me. [Friends] Our joy, our happiness, is in you: more than any wine your love possesses us; flowing freely falls this love. [She] Dark yet fair am I, daughters of Jerusalem; black as the tents of Kedar, as Solomon's curtains. Look not at me, I am scorched black: the sun has stared at me. Furious were my mother's sons. A keeper of the vineyards they made me; my own vineyard, I did not keep. [She] Tell me, you that I have loved, where you will pasture, where at noon you will rest your flock? Make me not swathe my face and wander, among all the herds of your friends. [Friends] If you know not, most beautiful of women, go forth upon the flock's tracks; pasture your own young goats where the shepherds' huts stand. [He] To me you are my mare among Pharaoh's chariots, my love, your cheeks fair in their strings of beads, your neck, jewelled; strings of solid gold I would make you – with silver grains. [She] While my king reclined to eat, my musk-root gave its scent; to me my beloved a bundle of myrrh resting between my breasts, to me my beloved a cluster of henna, in the spice-beds of Ein Gedi. [He] Beautiful are you, my love, how beautiful, your eyes like doves. [She] How beautiful you are, beloved, and how good. Green, luscious, is our bed. Roofed with cedars is our house; juniper trees are its rafters. [She] A dune flower of the coast am I, a lily of the valleys. [He] My love among the girls is a lily among thorn weeds. [She] An apple tree amid the forest is my beloved among men. His shade I treasure, there I rest – and sweetness fills my mouth from his fruit. [She] To the wine house he has brought me, and love is his flag flying over me. With raisin cakes sustain me now, among apples lay a bed for me – for I am sick with love. In his left hand my head rests; around me is his right arm. Daughters of Jerusalem, swear to me, by the she-gazelles, by the does of the field; swear you shall neither waken nor rouse this love before its time. [She] My beloved's voice – I hear him coming – springing over the hills, leaping the slopes; like a gazelle is my beloved, like a young deer – here he stands, behind our wall, peering through the windows, glimpsing through every gap.
