(A)Come with me from (B)Lebanon, my (C)bride;
    come with me from (D)Lebanon.
Depart[a] from the peak of Amana,
    from the peak of (E)Senir and (F)Hermon,
from the dens of lions,
    from the mountains of leopards.

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.
