Song of Solomon 4:1-5 (New King James Version)

Song of Solomon 4

THE Beloved

 ¹ Behold, you are fair, my love!
      Behold, you are fair!
      You have dove’s eyes behind your veil.
      Your hair is like a flock of goats,
      Going down from Mount Gilead.
       ² Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep
      Which have come up from the washing,
      Every one of which bears twins,
      And none is barren among them.
       ³ Your lips are like a strand of scarlet,
      And your mouth is lovely.
      Your temples behind your veil
      Are like a piece of pomegranate.
       ⁴ Your neck is like the tower of David,
      Built for an armory,
      On which hang a thousand bucklers,
      All shields of mighty men.
       ⁵ Your two breasts are like two fawns,
      Twins of a gazelle,
      Which feed among the lilies.
