Song of Solomon 4:8-16

English Standard Version

⁹ You have captivated my heart, my ^(G)sister, my bride;
    you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes,
    with one ^(H)jewel of your necklace.
¹⁰ How beautiful is your love, my ^(I)sister, my bride!
    How much ^(J)better is your love than wine,
    and ^(K)the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
¹¹ Your ^(L)lips drip nectar, my bride;
    ^(M)honey and milk are under your tongue;
    the fragrance of your garments is ^(N)like the fragrance of ^(O)Lebanon.
¹² A garden locked is my ^(P)sister, my bride,
    a spring locked, ^(Q)a fountain ^(R)sealed.
¹³ Your shoots are ^(S)an orchard of pomegranates
    with all ^(T)choicest fruits,
    ^(U)henna with ^(V)nard,
¹⁴ nard and saffron, ^(W)calamus and ^(X)cinnamon,
    with all trees of ^(Y)frankincense,
^(Z)myrrh and ^(AA)aloes,
    with all ^(AB)choice spices—
¹⁵ a garden fountain, a well of ^(AC)living water,
    and flowing streams from ^(AD)Lebanon.

¹⁶ Awake, O north wind,
    and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my ^(AE)garden,
    let its spices flow.
