“Your two breasts are like two fawns,Twins of a gazelleWhich feed among the lilies.
“His cheeks are like a bed of balsam,Banks of sweet, fragrant herbs.His lips are liliesDripping sweet-scented myrrh.
(The Shulammite Bride)“My beloved has gone down to his garden,To the beds of balsam,To feed his flock in the gardensAnd gather lilies.
“I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,He who feeds his flock among the lilies.”
“Your navel is a round gobletWhich never lacks mixed wine.Your belly is like a heap of wheatSurrounded with lilies.
And why are you worried about clothes? See how the lilies and wildflowers of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin [wool to make clothing],
Consider the lilies and wildflowers, how they grow [in the open field]. They neither labor nor spin [wool to make clothing]; yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory and splendor dressed himself like one of these.
