What is this coming up from the desert like columns of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and incense from all the fragrant powders of the merchant?

What is so special about your beloved, most beautiful of women? What is so special about your beloved, that you charge us like this?

His mouth is sweetness, and all of him is desirable. This is my beloved, this is my friend, young women of Jerusalem!

Who is this who appears like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, awesome as an army with banners?

Who is this coming up from the desert, leaning on her beloved? Under theapple tree I awakened you. There your mother had gone into labor with you; there she went into labor and gave birth to you.
