Song of Songs 4:1-7 - Groom's Praise Of His Bride

¹ M How beautiful you are, my darling.
How very beautiful!
Behind your veil,
your eyes are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
streaming down Mount Gilead.
² Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep
coming up from washing,
each one having a twin,
and not one missing.
³ Your lips are like a scarlet cord,
and your mouth is lovely.
Behind your veil,
your brow is like a slice of pomegranate.
⁴ Your neck is like the tower of David,
constructed in layers.
A thousand bucklers are hung on it—
all of them shields of warriors.
⁵ Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle, that feed among the lilies.
⁶ Before the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will make my way to the mountain of myrrh
and the hill of frankincense.
⁷ You are absolutely beautiful, my darling,
with no imperfection in you.
