Song of Solomon 7

¹How beautiful are your feet in sandals , O noble daughter ! Your rounded thighs are like jewels , the work of a master hand .

²Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine . Your belly is a heap of wheat , encircled with lilies .

³Your two breasts are like two fawns , twins of a gazelle .

⁴Your neck is like an ivory tower . Your eyes are pools in Heshbon , by the gate of Bath-rabbim . Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon , which looks toward Damascus .

⁵Your head crowns you like Carmel , and your flowing locks are like purple ; a king is held captive in the tresses .

⁶How beautiful and pleasant you are, O loved one , with all your delights !

⁷Your stature is like a palm tree , and your breasts are like its clusters .

⁸I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its fruit . Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine , and the scent of your breath like apples ,

⁹and your mouth like the best wine . It goes down smoothly for my beloved , gliding over lips and teeth .

¹⁰I am my beloved’s , and his desire is for me.

¹¹Come , my beloved , let us go out into the fields and lodge in the villages ;

¹²let us go out early to the vineyards and see whether the vines have budded , whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom . There I will give you my love .

¹³The mandrakes give forth fragrance , and beside our doors are all choice fruits , new as well as old , which I have laid up for you, O my beloved .
