Song of Songs 4:1-5:1: Seductive Compliment

1  How beautiful you are, my love,    how very beautiful! Your eyes are doves    behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats,    moving down the slopes of Gilead. 2  Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes    that have come up from the washing, all of which bear twins,    and not one among them is bereaved. 3  Your lips are like a crimson thread,    and your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate    behind your veil. 4  Your neck is like the tower of David,    built in courses; on it hang a thousand bucklers,    all of them shields of warriors. 5  Your two breasts are like two fawns,    twins of a gazelle,    that feed among the lilies. 6  Until the day breathes    and the shadows flee, I will hasten to the mountain of myrrh    and the hill of frankincense. 7  You are altogether beautiful, my love;    there is no flaw in you. 8  Come with me from Lebanon, my bride;    come with me from Lebanon. Depart  from the peak of Ama
