The Song of Songs
Love's Desires
2
B Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth! More delightful is your love than wine!
3
Your name spoken is a spreading perfume - that is why the maidens love you.
4
Draw me!- D We will follow you eagerly! B Bring me, O king, to your chambers. D With you we rejoice and exult, we extol your love; it is beyond wine: how rightly you are loved!
Love's Boast
5
B I am as dark-but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem - As the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Salma.
6
Do not stare at me because I am swarthy, because the sun has burned me. My brothers have been angry with me; they charged me with the care of the vineyards: my own vineyard I have not cared for.
Love's Inquiry
7
B Tell me, you whom my heart loves, where you pasture your flock, where you give them rest at midday, Lest I be found wandering after the flocks of your companions.
8
G If you do not know, O most beautiful among women, Follow the tracks of the flock and pasture the young ones near the shepherds' camps.
Love's Vision
9
G To the steeds of Pharaoh's chariots would I liken you, my beloved:
10
Your cheeks lovely in pendants, your neck in jewels.
11
We will make pendants of gold for you, and silver ornaments.
Love's Union
12
B For the king's banquet my nard gives forth its fragrance.
13
My lover is for me a sachet of myrrh to rest in my bosom.
14
My lover is for me a cluster of henna from the vineyards of Engedi.
15
G Ah, you are beautiful, my beloved, ah, you are beautiful; your eyes are doves!
16
B Ah, you are beautiful, my lover - yes, you are lovely. Our couch, too, is verdant;
17
the beams of our house are cedars, our rafters, cypresses.
