'Bride' in the Bible

“Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,May you come with me from Lebanon.Journey down from the summit of Amana,From the summit of Senir and Hermon,From the dens of lions,From the mountains of leopards.

“You have made my heart beat faster, my sister, my bride;You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes,With a single strand of your necklace.

“How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!How much better is your love than wine,And the fragrance of your oilsThan all kinds of spices!

“Your lips, my bride, drip honey;Honey and milk are under your tongue,And the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

“A garden locked is my sister, my bride,A rock garden locked, a spring sealed up.

“I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride;I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam.I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;I have drunk my wine and my milk.Eat, friends;Drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.”
