The Woman’s Brothers Speak

We have a little sister,
    and her breasts are not yet grown.
What should we do for our sister
    on the day she becomes engaged?
If she is a wall,
    we will put silver towers on her.
If she is a door,

    as one who brings happiness.

    and my breasts are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
    like one bringing contentment.
