Song of Solomon 4:3-13

English Standard Version

³Your lips are like ^(A)a scarlet thread,
    and your mouth is ^(B)lovely.
Your ^(C)cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
    ^(D)behind your veil.
⁴Your ^(E)neck is like the tower of David,
    built in ^(F)rows of stone;^[a]
on it ^(G)hang a thousand shields,
    all of ^(H)them shields of warriors.
⁵Your ^(I)two breasts are like two ^(J)fawns,
    twins of a gazelle,
    that ^(K)graze among the lilies.
⁶^(L)Until the day breathes
    and the shadows flee,
I will go away to the mountain of ^(M)myrrh
    and the hill of ^(N)frankincense.
⁷^(O)You are altogether beautiful, my love;
    there is no ^(P)flaw in you.
⁸^(Q)Come with me from ^(R)Lebanon, my ^(S)bride;
    come with me from ^(T)Lebanon.
Depart^[b] from the peak of Amana,
    from the peak of ^(U)Senir and ^(V)Hermon,
from the dens of lions,
    from the mountains of leopards.

⁹You have captivated my heart, my ^(W)sister, my bride;
    you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes,
    with one ^(X)jewel of your necklace.
¹⁰How beautiful is your love, my ^(Y)sister, my bride!
    How much ^(Z)better is your love than wine,
    and ^(AA)the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
¹¹Your ^(AB)lips drip nectar, my bride;
    ^(AC)honey and milk are under your tongue;
    the fragrance of your garments is ^(AD)like the fragrance of ^(AE)Lebanon.
¹²A garden locked is my ^(AF)sister, my bride,
    a spring locked, ^(AG)a fountain ^(AH)sealed.
¹³Your shoots are ^(AI)an orchard of pomegranates
    with all ^(AJ)choicest fruits,
    ^(AK)henna with ^(AL)nard,
