Song of Solomon 4:9-15

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride,
    you have ravished my heart with a glance of your eyes,
    with one jewel of your necklace.
¹⁰ How sweet is your love, my sister, my bride!
    how much better is your love than wine,
    and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
¹¹ Your lips distil nectar, my bride;
    honey and milk are under your tongue;
    the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon.
¹² A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
    a garden locked, a fountain sealed.
¹³ Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates
    with all choicest fruits,
    henna with nard,
¹⁴ nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,
    with all trees of frankincense,
myrrh and aloes,
    with all chief spices—
¹⁵ a garden fountain, a well of living water,
    and flowing streams from Lebanon.
