(A)You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
And there is no blemish on you.
Come with me from (B)Lebanon, my (C)bride,
You shall come with me from Lebanon.
You shall [a]come down from the summit of (D)Amana,
From the summit of (E)Senir and Hermon,
From the dens of lions,
From the mountains of leopards.
You have [b]enchanted my heart, (F)my sister, my bride;
You have [c]enchanted my heart with a single glance of your eyes,
With a single strand of your (G)necklace.
10 (H)How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much [d](I)sweeter is your love than wine,
And the (J)fragrance of your oils
Than that of all kinds of balsam oils!
11 Your lips (K)drip (L)honey, my bride;
Honey and milk are under your tongue,
And the fragrance of your garments is like the (M)fragrance of Lebanon.
12 A locked garden is my sister, my bride,
A locked spring, a (N)sealed (O)fountain.
13 Your branches are an [e](P)orchard of (Q)pomegranates
With (R)delicious fruits, (S)henna with nard plants,
14 (T)Nard and saffron, spice reed and (U)cinnamon,
With all the trees of (V)frankincense,
(W)Myrrh, and aloes, along with all the finest balsam oils.
15 You are a garden spring,
A well of [f](X)fresh water,
And flowing streams from Lebanon.”

The Bride

16 “Awake, north wind,
And come, wind of the south;
[g]Make my (Y)garden breathe out fragrance,
May its balsam oils flow.
May (Z)my beloved come into his garden
And eat its (AA)delicious fruits!”

Thou [art] all fair, my friend, And a blemish there is not in thee. Come from Lebanon, O spouse,

Come from Lebanon, come thou in. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Hermon, From the habitations of lions, From the mountains of leopards.

Thou hast emboldened me, my sister-spouse, Emboldened me with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.

10 How wonderful have been thy loves, my sister-spouse, How much better have been thy loves than wine, And the fragrance of thy perfumes than all spices.

11 Thy lips drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk [are] under thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments [Is] as the fragrance of Lebanon.

12 A garden shut up [is] my sister-spouse, A spring shut up -- a fountain sealed.

13 Thy shoots a paradise of pomegranates, With precious fruits,

14 Cypresses with nard -- nard and saffron, Cane and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices.

15 A fount of gardens, a well of living waters, And flowings from Lebanon!

16 Awake, O north wind, and come, O south, Cause my garden to breathe forth, its spices let flow, Let my beloved come to his garden, And eat its pleasant fruits!
