1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals, noble lady. The curves of your thighs are like ornaments, the work of a skilled artist's hands. 2 Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks mixed wine. Your abdomen is a bundle of wheat, enclosed by lilies. 3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. 4 Your neck is like a tower of ivory. Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon, beside the gate of Beth-rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon, which faces Damascus. 5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel. Your flowing locks are like purple, and a king could be captured in the dangling tresses. 6 How beautiful and lovely you are, you are love with its exquisite delights. 7 Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters of fruit. 8 I told myself, |I'll go up the palm tree, and take hold of its fruit. May your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the smell of your breath like apples. 9 May your mouth be like good wine. May it go down smoothly to my beloved, gliding gently over the lips of the sleeping ones. Song of Solomon 7:1-9, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
